DVD Ripping question

[kir]

On my gentoo workstation, I tried the dd and vlc work-arounds, but without any success.  The ddrescue did work in ripping the dvd to hard disk:

Roy, does the dd fails for you even with conv=noerror switch?

On my gentoo workstation, I tried the dd and vlc work-arounds, but without any success. 

What version of vlc, what was the vlc command, and what movie or movies did not work?  If you don't remember the vlc version and command, but can give me the list of DVDs that failed I may have one of them or I may just buy one to test.

I was a little early on the ddrescue success announcement.  The rescued iso did play using kaffeine on my gentoo box.  I then moved the iso (and renamed it to .dvd) to my nfs server (using folderlock).  When I tried to play it from LMCE the previews played but when the disk got to the point of showing the dvd menu, LMCE reported "Cannot read DVD, disk is not readable or DVDCSS library is not installed".  The /var/log/pluto/22_Xine_Player.log (http://roy.wright.org/linuxmce/22_Xine_Player.log.bz2) has this error message, but I did not find any other hint as to the problem in the log file.

I'm still on LMCE 710 beta 3. 

The disk I'm using on this test is "Rush Hour 3" "New line 2-disc platinum series" ISBN 0-7806-5896-5.

On the dd attempt, it quickly read 133MB then kept repeating that much read.  After a couple of minutes I aborted it.  I've just started another and am going to let it run for a couple of hours (I have an appointment).  I'll report back on it when I return home.

Here's the vlc attempt:

Code: [Select]

$ vlc dvd:///dev/dvd2@1 --sout "#standard{access=file,mux=ps,dst=rush3.dvd}"

Is rush hour 3 the only one you've had issues with?  I ask a lot of questions here, so I try to help where I can.  I don't have Rush Hour 3 yet.  I actually looked at it this weekend, had it in my hand, then put it down and bought 310 to Yuma (good movie), and a few others instead.

Maybe I'll pop down to the store and pick it up and give it a shot.  Looks like you are doing the same command I was, I really hope there isn't yet another copy protection out that screws up ripping.  Hopefully it's not a version issue either, I wiped out my old mythtv setup to install lmce, and just now installed vlc.

[grepico]

SUCCESS!!!

OK, I substituted the ddrescue command for the disk_copy command in the ripDiskWrapper.sh file:

Old command:

command='/usr/pluto/bin/disc_unlock "$sourceDevice"; nice -n 15 /usr/pluto/bin/disk_copy "$sourceDevice" "$targetFileName.dvd.in-progress" > '"$ProgressOutput"

New command:

command='/usr/pluto/bin/disc_unlock "$sourceDevice"; nice -n 15 ddrescue -n "$sourceDevice" "$targetFileName.dvd.in-progress" > '"$ProgressOutput"

I used ddrescue because it copies the disk straight to iso/dvd format.  Now I can use the Orbiter interface and choose Copy disk and it will copy any disc perfectly.  The downside is this method takes WAY longer to copy so what I'm going to attempt is create a new menu item for this type of copy so I'll have one button for the quick copy and another button for this copy if a movie fails using the first one.

Another issue I'm having (but not really one of importance) is using the ddrescue method the percentage doesn't show up when you view the progress.  I'll look into that later.

Holy Cow, I think I just contributed something to this project.

The dd just doesn't finish.  Here's the command I issued:

Code: [Select]

$ dd if=/dev/dvd2 of=/var/video/rush3_dd.dvd conv=noerror
And here's the last status message:

Code: [Select]

dd: reading `/dev/dvd2': Input/output error
260352+0 records in
260352+0 records out
133300224 bytes (133 MB) copied, 14847.9 s, 9.0 kB/s
There were two other dvds that I hit the could not rip issue with (out of ~300), but they accidentally got placed in the to be ripped shelfs.  I think one of them was "Click!".

Fantastic!  If that works seamlessly I'm happy to dump vlc to get an option that works from within lmce. 

Before you try creating a new menu for a separate rip method, you might want to give a different DVD a try, something that works quick with the disk_copy method.  The slowdown may just be a result of a ton of bad blocks.

edit:  oddly enough, when I did an apt-get install ddrescue it completed, but there was no ddrescue.  After poking around I found dd_rescue?

[kir]

The copying progress is not shown when using ddrescue, because (iirc), disk_copy output it to the specific place from where the ripper script reads it. Looks like ddrescue doesn't do this.

OK, I used the ddrescue method on a disc I had previously ripped with the disk_copy method and it is still slow so I'm going to go ahead with the second menu option.  I'll keep you updated.

Darn.  Thanks for the updates.  When you say slow, how much slower?  Twice as long?  5 times as long?  When I get a new core system ordered and built I need to start clean and re-rip 300+ movies.  One or two here and there I wouldn't care about the speed, but with 300 and growing it makes a huge difference.

[grepico]

By slow I mean regular method usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, the ddrescue method takes 1.5 to 2 hours.

I don't know about that, when I saw the reference to ddrescue I just went to a command line and typed it and it worked.  No install, no path, just # ddrescue....
