Gdvdshrink is a lightweight, low dependency, gui dvd backup application. It can only copy one title, but it can copy any number of subtitles and audio streams. Here is the softpedia link:

====================================


1. Install the dependencies. As root do

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install libdvdcss2 lsdvd vamps libgtk2-gladexml-perl
2. Get the app. You can either download the source files or the rpm and convert it with alien (I used the sources).

3. If you got the sources, then extract it to its own folder - maybe name it gdvdshrink.

4. Edit the config file.

Code: Select all

leafpad /download/path/gdvdshrink/usr/local/bin/gDVDshrink
Edit this line

Code: Select all

cd /download/path/gdvdshrink/opt/gDVDshrink
5. Make sure you have a dvd in the drive. To run the app, open a terminal and do

Code: Select all

/download/path/gdvdshrink/usr/local/bin/gDVDshrink
or set up a symlink and see how that works.
