I'm trying to get the ISO image of a DVD but Brasero without GNOME behaves
oddly and, frankly, I'm fed up with such complex programs for such a simple
task. All around I see you can use dd if=/dev/dvd of=fitxer.iso to dump the
DVD (I'd swear this didn't work some time ago), but my disc is encrypted with
CSS and there's always an input/output error after reading part of the disc.
To my suprise, I open the DVD in VLC (which uses the libdvdcss library to
decrypt it) and, after playing it for some seconds and closing VLC… dumping
with dd works flawlessly! I've tried several times with several DVDs and it
seems to be sistematic. Maybe there's some peculiar interaction with my DVD
unit (I didn't check others), but… ain't it cool?
