cpdvd is a tool to transfer a DVD title to your harddisk with ease on Linux.
This tool copies all required files for a movie title from a DVD on your harddisk for further processing with libdvdreads image mode (e.g. transcode). It automatically selects the title with longest duration - but you can also pick a specific one.
The tool determines the correct title set (VTS-VOB files) for the selected title, clones the navigation information (IFO files) and extracts (decodes) the data into new video object streams.
Installation:
Unzip the file and place it in your bin path. Make sure you have installed Perl! You need at least transcode version 0.6.0pre4 and of course cpvts.
Usage:
You simply give a target directory (will be created automatically) insert a DVD and that's all:
cpdvd MyMovie
You can then run transcode with the dvd import module (-x dvd) on this directory:
transcode -i MyMovie -x dvd ...
If your DVD device is not /dev/dvd or the DVD mount point is not /dvd then you must specify the following options:
cpdvd -d /dev/mydvddevice -m /my/dvd/mointpoint MyMovie
or set the DVD_MOUNT and DVD_DEV environment variables.
If you want to copy another title or the main title guess was wrong then you can pick a title with the -t option:
cpdvd -t 2 MyMovie
With the -i option you will receive information on all titles of a disc and the guess which title is the main title:
cpdvd -i
Requirements:
transcode version 0.6.0pre4
cpvts
Perl
