DVD2HDD is a Linux-based software that provides a user-friendly graphical interface to backup DVDs through various tools.
One of the key highlights of DVD2HDD is its ability to detect DVD-Video-Discs, allowing you to quickly identify and begin the backup process. The program also includes DVD drive speedup, which helps to minimize the amount of time it takes to copy your DVD.
Another great feature of DVD2HDD is the DVD preview functionality, which uses xine to provide a preview of your DVD before you begin the backup process. This is especially helpful when you need to identify the mainmovie or other important content.
The software also offers the ability to backup the entire DVD on the fly, or just the mainmovie. Additionally, DVD2HDD can join all vobs to one big vobfile, and it can detect free space on your hard drive.
In terms of future improvements, the ability to continue the backup process if the same DVD is present is currently in the works. DVD2HDD can also burn VIDEO-DVDs, offering even greater functionality for your DVD backup needs.
To use DVD2HDD, you will need to install Gambas and several other programs, including xine, vobcopy, libdvdcss2, mkisofs, and growisofs. Additionally, the software requires gambas-runtime, gambas-gb-qt, gambas-gb-qt-ex, and optionally gtk2-engines-gtk-qt.
Overall, DVD2HDD is a powerful and user-friendly tool for backing up your DVDs on Linux, and it's definitely worth checking out.
