Dumping DVD to file?

[discotex]

Hello All,

I'm trying to archive a DVD by writing VLC's stream to a file. This works fine with transcoding, but as I said, I want a 1:1 copy and no transcoding. I also clicked the "raw" output checkbox, but then the resulting video has no sound.

Please advise.

From the command line, I would do

Code: Select all

vlc dvdsimple:// --sout-all --sout '#std{mux=ps,dst=DVD_dump.mpg,access=file'

Hello Rémi,

Thank you for your fast reply - and sorry for mine being late. The prompt you posted opens a VLC instance in a minimal view, but it does not read anything from the DVD. Where can I read more on the command line you posted?

Thank you & regards

If you run just:

Code: Select all

vlc dvdsimple://

Does it playback the DVD? If not then you instead might need to do something like:

Code: Select all

vlc dvdsimple://E

Where "E" is the drive letter or path of your disc drive.

Arite.
