Copy a DVD with dd PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 22 December 2006
Here is a quick guide to copying a DVD in linux from the command line:

  1. Assuming your DVD drive is /dev/hdc, execute the following from the command line:

    dd if=/dev/hdc of=dvd.iso

  2. Verify that the DVD and the ISO file are exactly the same:

    diff /dev/hdc dvd.iso -r

  3. Insert a blank DVD of the same type as the original (-R, +R, DVD5, DVD9). Burn the new DVD from the ISO:

    /usr/bin/growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=dvd.iso
