On a slightly different topic, my girlfriend has this problem
as well, and also wants to copy several DVDs so she can wear
out the copies rather than the originals. She bought some
commercial software, DVDx I believe, which claims to do that,
and which we tried to run under Wine. We hit some permissions
problems it looks like.

I tried downloading vobcopy, and it's been running a couple
of *days* trying to rip a two hour movie!

Anyone here with experience ripping/copying DVDs using
Linux?

Not trying to give away or sell, just for personal use.
Each time a DVD gets taken out of its case, there are
microcracks and scratches. Wanna play the copies.
This is in the USA.
