| Post subject: | Duplicate DVD from .ISO file? |
Wifey asked me to rip a DVD, which I did, and now she wants a copy of it. We don't have the original any more. I can watch the .iso fine in MythVideo. But the .iso is about 7GB and I don't want to try to mess with dual-layer burning. Any way to transcode this thing so that it'll fit on a DVD? I don't think MythArchive can help me, not initially, as it's .iso format. I probably should have ripped as .vob? Maybe I can mount the .iso file as a fake DVD drive, and re-rip? I'm looking for suggestions, before I start to wrestle with this. |

Mounting as a fake drive is your best bet. You can use a win32 app called dvd shrink to lower the video quality and it may fit on one disc. Failing that, another win32 product (not freeware) called dvd fab can be used to split the dual layer disc into two single layer discs. It might be less work to buy a dual layer drive (about 30 bucks these days) and just copy the iso. |

DVDShrink is also a linux app, "apt-get install xdvdshrink" will do the trick. Win32 indeed!

Turns out the drive IS dual-layer. If I buy some media, is it as simple as burning with growifs? ex: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/myth/videos/mybigfatdvdfile.iso Or is there some special voodoo involved with the dual-layer stuff? |
