If you don't want to invest time to recode the video files in order to save disk space, then use the vobcopy program (from ports); you will need between 4 and 8 GB per DVD. Of course, you can also use dd to copy the DVDs 1:1 (use bs=20480 or similar). The mplayer program will be able to play both. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
