FWIW the most useful howto on DVD backup techniques I've ever seen is here: http://kavlon.org/index.php/dvdbackup It says it's for Linux but all of the programs needed are available in FreeBSD's ports tree. It's command-line based, but parts of it could be scripted, etc. One additional note on the original ripping phase: I find tccat to be more reliable than vobcopy, although with some DVD's it makes sense to try both. And vobcopy is better at guessing which title is the feature if there is more than one. JN
