Free dvd vault 4.100 software for linux

DVD-Vault provides an achive software to manage DVD jukeboxes (SCSI medium changers).
DVD-Vault is an implementation of a filesystem archive that makes a DVD SCSI library with multiple pieces of DVD-R or DVD-RAM media look like a single large file system.
A library with 1000 pieces of 4.7Gbyte media can be addressed as a 4700GByte file system with SCSI-robotic mounting and unmounting of media as required.
Users of UniTree (HPSS), AMASS, METIOR, and MagnaVault may recognize how this program works.
It has been tested with an ASACA 250 and 1450 and the Sony/Kubota 64-slot PD (blu-ray) library.
Enhancements:
- Binary and source code have been broken apart into two different files.
- DMAPI code now "punches" holes in files, rather than truncating the files. This makes file sizes transparent, which is really helpful for Windows clients.
- disk_scrub has been implemented to reclaim optical disk space when files are deleted.
- The MCLIB routines have support for Qualstar tape libraries.
- Batch_migration is in the binary RPM to support WORM media (BD-R, DVD+R).
- Tape stage support is in the stage program
- Purge is replaced with purgefile to support the new DMAPI code.

cpdvd is a tool to transfer a DVD title to your harddisk with ease on Linux.

This tool copies all required files for a movie title from a DVD on your harddisk for further processing with libdvdreads image mode (e.g. transcode). It automatically selects the title with longest duration - but you can also pick a specific one.

The tool determines the correct title set (VTS-VOB files) for the selected title, clones the navigation information (IFO files) and extracts (decodes) the data into new video object streams.

Installation:

Unzip the file and place it in your bin path. Make sure you have installed Perl! You need at least transcode version 0.6.0pre4 and of course cpvts.

Usage:

You simply give a target directory (will be created automatically) insert a DVD and thats all:

cpdvd MyMovie

You can then run transcode with the dvd import module (-x dvd) on this directory:

transcode -i MyMovie -x dvd ...

If your DVD device is not /dev/dvd or the DVD mount point is not /dvd then you must specify the following options:

cpdvd -d /dev/mydvddevice -m /my/dvd/mointpoint MyMovie

or set the DVD_MOUNT and DVD_DEV environment variables.

If you want to copy another title or the main title guess was wrong then you can pick a title with the -t option:

cpdvd -t 2 MyMovie

With the -i option you will receive information on all titles of a disc and the guess which title is the main title:

cpdvd -i

dvdbackup you can do a 1:1 copy of a DVD-video.

Installation

Download dvdbackup version 0.1 - you will also need libdvdread version 0.9.3 or later.

Compile dvdbackup.c in the src dir like this gcc -o dvdbackup
-I/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/include -L/my/prefix/to/libdvdread/lib
-ldvdread dvdbackup.c

NOTE: The "" indicates that its one line - i.e. remove the "" from the command
line

Usage:

If your backup directory is /my/dvd/backup/dir/ specified with the "-o" flag. Then dvdbackup will create a DVD-Video structure under /my/dvd/backup/dir/TITLE_NAME/VIDEO_TS.

Since the title is "uniq" you can use the same dir for all your DVD backups. If it happens to have a generic title dvdbackup will exit with a return value of 2. And you will need to specify a title name with the -n switch.

dvdbackup will always mimic the original DVD-Video structure. Hence if you e.g. use the -M (mirror) you will get an exact duplicate of the original. This means that every file will be have the same size as the original one. Like wise goes also for the -F and the -T switch.

However the -t and (-t -s/-e) switch is a bit different the titles sectors will be written to the original file but not at the same offset as the original one since they may be gaps in the cell structure that we dont fill.

To backup the whole DVD

dvdbackup -M -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure that can be burned to a DVD-/+R(W) with help of mkisofs version 1.11a27 or later

To backup the main feature of the DVD

dvdbackup -F -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure of the feature title set
dvdbackup defaults to get the 16:9 version of the main feature if a 4:3 is also present on the DVD. To get the 4:3 version use -a 0.

dvdbackup makes it best to make a inteligent guess what is the main feature of the DVD - in case it fails please send a bug report.

To backup a title set

dvdbackup -T 2 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/

where "-T 2" specifies that you want to backup title set 2 i.e. all VTS_02_X.XXX files.

This action creates a valid DVD-Video structure of the specified title set

To backup a title

dvdbackup -t 1 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir

This action backups all cells that forms the specified title. Note that there can be sector gaps in between one cell and an other. dvdbackup will backup all sectors that belongs to the title but will skip sectors that arent a part of the title.

To backup a specific chapter or chapters from a title

dvdbackup -t 1 -s 20 -e 25 -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir

This action will backup chapter 20 to 25 in title 1, as with the backup of a title there can be sector gaps between one chapter (cell) and on other.dvdbackup will backup all sectors that belongs to the title 1 chapter 20 to 25 but will skip sectors that arent a part of the title 1 chapter 20 to 25.

To backup a single chapter e.g. chapter 20 do -s 20 -e 20
To backup from chapter 20 to the end chapter use only -s 20
To backup to chapter 20 from the first chapter use only -e 20

You can skip the -t switch and let the program guess the title although its not recomened.

If you specify a chapter that his higher than the last chapter of the title dvdbackup will turncate to the highest chapter of the title.

Return values

0 on success
1 on usage error
2 on title name error
-1 on failur

Todo - i.e. whats on the agenda

Make the main feature guessing algoritm better. Not that it doesnt do its job, but its implementation its that great. I would also like to preserve more information about the main feature since that would let me preform better implementations in other functions that depends on the titles_info_t and title_set_info_t strcutures.
Make it possible to extract cells in a title not just chapters (very easy so it will definitly be in the next version).

Make a split mirror (-S) option that divides a DVD-9 to two valid DVD-5 video structures. This is not a trivial hack and its my main goal the next month or so. It involves writing ifoedit and vobedit libraries in order to be able to manipulate both the IFO structures and the VOB files. Out of this will most probably also come tscreate and vtscreate which will enable you to make a very simple DVD-Video from MPEG-1/2 source.

Rsync Vault Manager is an archive manager that uses rsync to manage backups of multiple clients across multiple logical partitions (vaults).
Rsync Vault Manager has some features that some other rsync-based backup schemes lack, such as being written in C++, needing no scripts or other programs than rsync and any binaries on which rsync depends (such as SSH), the ability to manage multiple instances of rsync connections to separate clients in parallel, the ability to use multiple logical partitions (vaults) in a configurable fashion for purporses of redundancy and added reliability, and the use of hard links for files that have not changed from one archive to the next.
Rsync Vault Manager was developed on an x86 platform using Linux RedHat 9.0 w/ GCC 3.2.2 and an UltraSPARC platform using Solaris 8 w/ GCC 2.95.5.
Rsync Vault Manager uses GNU autoconf/automake scripts for compilation and installation.
Enhancements:
- Minor bugs fixed: a wildcard resolution bug, incorrect archive directory names, empty job IDs in reports, and this release checks that a vault is writable before running rsync.
- A vault locking option prevents multiple instances of rvm from using the same vault, there is a separate error logging level to be used when retrying an rsync command, and there is an option to delete old log files along with old archives.

dvdwizard is a wrapper-script which incorporates a fully automated creation of a DVD-structure with Chapters and menus from one or more mpeg-streams.

This is done by several "sub-scripts" and various freely available tools. dvdwizard is free software distributed under the GPL license.

Usage:

Just issue

#> dvdwizard my_movie.mpg

and go grab yourself a beer, have lunch oder whatever you like to do for about half an hour (depending on your machines speed - for me its 30 minutes on an Athlon 1.4 GHz, 512 MB).

Come back, issue

#> xine dvd://`pwd`/dvd/

and watch your DVD or burn it and take it to your stand-alone DVD.

Tivo2dvd creates and executes the series of commands required to access, format, and burn television shows from a Series II Tivo directly to a DVD. The project supports processing multiple shows at once, to a DVD with menus.
