Description

This is a simple guide for extracting a DVD and writing an ISO file for backing up a media library.

Prepare the Environment

  • Make sure the system is up to date:
    sudo pacman -Syu
    

dvdbackup

  • Install dvdbackup:
    sudo pacman -S dvdbackup libdvdcss
    
    • (Optional) Install dvdauthor for backing up specific titles:
      sudo pacman -S dvdauthor
      
  • Backup the entire DVD structure, including menus, special features, etc. This requires approximately 7 GB of disk space for most DVDs:
    dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -o ~ -M
    
  • Create the ISO image from the extract DVD files:
    mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o ~/dvd.iso ~/movie_name

    sudo pacman -S dvd+rw-tools
