Free hd dvd software for linux

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

Ts2Dvd lets you make video DVD from almost any video file. You just have to select input video files, add subtitles file, then press Start button. After few minutes you get VIDEO_TS for burning it as DVD.

MythDora 3.0 is now using FC5 along with MythTV-0.20 all on DVD. This DVD will install on various PVR builds. A few changes have been made since the 2.32 version. Hopefully good ones. One big change is that version 3.0 now runs on an SMP kernel. Another big change is that MythDora-3.0 now uses KDE and goes onto a DVD rather than a CD. With change and additions, things just couldnt fit on a CD any longer. The ISO size isnt too much bigger, about 940mb total.
There will no longer be any need for a Unichrome version as the needed bits are now in the modular Xorg-7.0. What is now being used is a single Openchrome Via rpm from the Epia repository at washington.kelkoo.net. This should be enough to allow hardware acceleration for Epia mainboards and S3 video card users.
Please read the F.A.Q. if you have any initial questions. Also look over the README file thats located on your disk. This is where you will find instructions on certain parts of MythDora. There is also an Install Notes at the top of this page which gives you a general idea of how to set things up in mythtvsetup.
MythDora 3.0 uses an auto installer that allows your system to install only on the first hard drive and not on your remaining physical hard drives. The installer uses LVM which will allow you to add another HD to your volume group if you so choose.
For those of you new to MythDora, the easiest way to install would be to use the auto install feature. This will install every package on the disk, automatically format your disk(s), create a user mythtv, setup networking, setup MythTV etc., all on the fly. When mythtvsetup finishes, mythfilldatabase will automatically start but only if you have chosen an all-in-one setup and have a valid Data Direct subscription. XMLTV users will need to run mythfilldatabase --manual in the provided xterm screen if need be. After that a reboot will take place as this seems to install your tuner card(s) a little better.
Please be sure to make the appropriate changes in the frontend setup in order for things to work correctly. This may include sound working properly, bitrate adjustment, resolution or changing channels etc.
One thing you need to make sure of is when you install in either auto or custom, please make sure you disable selinux during install !!!
Its also recommended that you do not do an "apt-get dist-upgrade" , "apt-get upgrade" or "yum upgrade" as you run the risk of breaking something. You have been warned!!.
I really want to thank those of you who gave me feedback during the beta testing. This couldnt have been done without. I really appreciate it.
Also I want to thank one of our members here, inm8, for creating the kickass new logo for MythDora. He did an outstanding job and I dont think youll be disappointed. I also added in some more eye candy for your viewing pleasure.
Enhancements:
This is a second bugfix release to version 3.0. Hopefully the last. This is mainly to give Nvidia users the chance to install Legacy drivers for older video cards. I also included a new mythstreamtv rpm with corrected code that should allow you to kill the vlc stream now. Thanks to Jeffrey Kosowsky.
- Added older 8776 Nvidia drivers
- Corrected mythstreamtv
- Updated to latest stable kernel 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5smp
- Updated to MythTV 0.20-148
- Updated ivtv 0.8.2-123
- Added two new remotes (Nebula & Technisat)

restore CD/DVD allows you to create a CD or DVD that can be used to backup whole hard disk partitions from any OS and restore them without user interaction.

restore CD/DVD can be used in a manner similar to vendor-provided rescue CDs included with new computers, but with all your own settings.

SimplyMEPIS is a ready to go desktop operating system for PCs and Apple computers that have Intel or AMD 32 or 64 bit processors. SimplyMEPIS project is easier than Windows Vista and intuitive for Windows XP and Windows 98 users. MEPIS includes all of the applications that most users need and want. SimplyMEPIS is designed to replace or work side by side with Vista or XP on PCs. MEPIS offers Apple users an opportunity to have it all: OSX, MEPIS 32 and/or 64, and if necessary Windows running in a virtual machine sandbox.

Warren Woodford of MEPIS has built KDE 4 Beta 1 live DVDs to verify the compatibility of KDE 4 with SimplyMEPIS 7.x. Both 32-bit and 64-bit editions are available. They are about 1 GB each and include all of the KDE 4 applications that are working at this time. KDE 4 Beta 1 is a very early release and is meant for developers, testers, and reviewers. The live DVDs were built using a MEPIS 7.0 Etch core and include the usual MEPIS kernel and hardware compatibility features. Since KDE 4 is functionally different than KDE 3 and also in an early beta state, a minimal KDE 3 installation remains on the disk to facilitate exploration by the user.

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.
