Karl, you are welcome.

I'm not sure what you meant about this statement

Can not reproduce the problem of not being able to play some of the .vob from the dvd mounted directly (udf) today .

Suspecting kernel version or malcompiled (crypto) driver .

2.6.37.4-KRG-i486-StagingDrivers-3

Yesterday it had been 2.6.30.6-KRG-i486

This utility looks like it is probably the best thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately, I'm not savvy enough to get it to work. When I click the copy button nothing happens. My DVD is showing up on my Desktop as sr0. I edited the script replacing dvd with sr0 and it didn't make any difference. Any Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

It should work.

Have you read the help? Click on the life buoy.

You put a DVD in your drive, click on copy and file called your.iso will be created in /mnt/home

Once copied you put a blank DVD in your drive and the file your.iso will be burned to your new disk.

If you are copying a protected DVD the process may not work.

If you have only one DVD drive it should be called sr0 and not need changing.

Good luck.

I uninstalled the pet and reinstalled it to revert the script back to original. I have a DVD in my drive and if I click copy nothing happens. I've looked in mnt/home and it has not created a file called your.iso. If I click on the sr0 icon on the desktop that it opens the DVD in xine. What was making me think it may be the /dev/dvd reference is because if I navigate to the /dev folder and click on /dev/dvd I get an error message that reads 'I don't know how to open dev/dvd' I assume I should be able to open a DVD in that manner. Thanks for your time on this.

The Copy button and the Burn button on CopyDVD do not work. If I click either button, there is a flash of something (square frame) and then nothing.

I am using Wary 5.1.1 full install. You may recall that, with assistance, I got the ripping function to work. Now I would like for the rest of copyDVD features to work.

nubc, try this one. I compiled it especially for Wary5.

I tried the program running Wary 5.1.1 as a live CD, and it behaved much like the other CopyDVD, except nothing really worked. It wouldn't copy, it wouldn't rip, clicking the Burn button caused a flash of a square frame and then nothing. My experience is that Wary 5.1.1 and Wary 5.2.x are very different Puppies.

I thought Wary 5.1 & 5.2 used the same kernel, maybe not.

Do you have a /mnt/home/ directory? I don't use full installs very often so am not sure.

It worked fine here on Wary 5.2. It might be a while before I will have time to investigate further.

Maybe CatDude can have a look.

Maybe the DVD has copy protection ?

This one should work.

pemasu is quite right, It won't get around copy protection.
