Ubuntu – Ripping DVD to iso – Accurately

dvdiso

I have been using Brasero to rip my DVD collection to .iso. However, I've discovered some errors in some of the DVDs through playback e.g. VLC player would just stop playing the iso file when a bad section in playback is met (half-way through a film).

The worst thing is that no errors or warnings were thrown during the ripping process – I could have . Is there a method or application that will monitor DVD/file data integrity and avoid such scenarios in the future?

Anything equivalent to Exact Audio Copier or CDparanoia for DVDs?

I think you can use dd to copy disks well. Using

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image_name.iso

I can confirm it works well with CDs and should work well with DVDs too.

Edit: I just used this to rip a DVD, so I can confirm it works with DVDs too.

You can mount them in Gnome just by right clicking on them and clicking Archive Mounter.

Sometimes that doesn't work too well. If not:

sudo mount -oloop -tudf,iso9660 [isofile] [directory]

Ubuntu – How to burn an ISO file larger 4.7 GB onto a DVD

It's just a matter of media.

If the DVD ISO you have to write onto the media is bigger than 4.7 GB, you can use double-layer DVD if your writer is able to support this kind of DVD.

Then you can put almost the double of 4.7 GB on a single double-layer DVD. Of course, if the ISO size exceeds the size limit of a double-layer DVD, you cannot do anything more with a DVD.
