Assuming you have a DVD that is not encrypted.....
- mount the DVD
- in the VIDEO_TS folder there will be several files names
VTS_xx_y.VOB, where "xx" and "y" are numbers
- cat all of the VTS_xx_*.VOB files together with something like "cat
VTS_01_*.VOB > title_01.mpg". cat does not care if the files are text
or binary - it just concatenates them together.
- use the video player of your choice to play the *.mpg files and
determine which you wish to keep (I like many others prefer vlc).
The thing is I can't get vlc to convert a DVD a decrypted mirror image
of that dvd nor an ISO created from those decrypted files. IDK what it
is with vlc. I use it all the time to view. But the convert options with
vlc. I get a short feature that plays a song of the movie's release
company, then all ends. It's about 1-2 minutes long.
