Better than DVDNextCopy or any of the rest. They license the underlying tech to the rest, DVDNextCopy and others. DVD Ranger is the best I have ever used for windows.

Theoretically.) is the bee's knees for copying DVD. Cleans up all types of protection, eliminates ODP, allows you to shrink or to split DVDs. However, it is a Windows program. Your call. Windows DVDFab Platinum (Not free. Theoretically.) is the bee’s knees for copying DVD.

Cleans up all types of protection, eliminates ODP, allows you to shrink or to split DVDs.

However, it is a Windows program.

Your call.

I hate to be the one to suggest it but that program will allow you to access and copy those DVDs. Best of luck!!!

Most DVDs are single-sided dual layered and only hold 8.54GB of data. The max capacity of a Dual-sided + Dual-layered DVD is 17.08GB. Even a Dual-layered Blueray disc can only hold no more than 50GB. The deceased HD-DVD format would only hold 30GB max. My only guess is that you obtained this disc from someone who is in possession of a flux capacitor, a DeLorean and 1.21 jigawatts of electricity and took the wrong disc back to the rental place by mistake. Call the place you got this disc from and notify them of the perilous situation we're all facing, as the very fabric of space time is at risk of being irreversibly damaged!!!! @shirt:

I usually use k9copy, but each "title" (19 of them as an example) are all 4.4gb big. What do you do about newer encrypted DVDs that appear to be 65 GB file size?

I love that I can get almost any kind of software for Ubuntu, but some of it needs a bit o explanation. Yours is simple and did the trick. (my copy of the Matrix was scratched, that's just not acceptable to a geek!) Thanks, this is really useful for me.
