From: Ron Johnson on 30 Apr 2010 22:30 Is there such a DVD app analogous to cdparanoia? Or is it not possible due to the differing data, WAV vs. MPEG? The issue is that I'm trying to read some 2-3 year old "movie" DVD-Rs and they're all at some point failing. -- Dissent is patriotic, remember? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I mean, for DVDs as well. Shows you what I know... Audio CDs cannot be guaranteed 100% faithfully copied, for annoying reasons. Which is why ripping them used to be fraught with danger. And why some CDs would ruin your speakers.[0] DVDs are just (encrypted) video files. So, yeah, that's the reason. Not that it's not possible, but that it's not necessary. MAA 0. The Avatar DVDs are DRMed-up, too. I don't know how this works for DVDs, but they won't play in Blu-Ray players, and not even in all DVD players. Worse than pointless. Actually evil... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You could try dvdbackup. While it doesn't support reading a sector multiple times (like cdparanoia does), it can at least skip single blocks (--error=b) instead of aborting.

Try another drive (best would be a dvd burner). Apart from that, you could try ddrescue and just plain copy the whole disc to an iso imagefile. Also, check out vobcopy, it's my fav application to backup dvds. hth -- left blank, right bald
