Brassero doesn't want to save my dvd as an iso. No copyright involved.

Asked by Militia-Angel

Binary package hint: brasero

When I put a dvd in and open Brassero, it will not let me save the dvd to an iso file. It gives the error that it doesn't have the right plugins to support saving as an iso. I can not find out how to load in the proper plugins anywhere.

These DVDs are not copyrighted, they are home videos from friends.

First enable Medibuntu, open terminal Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type or copy and paste:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/karmic.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss libdvdcss2

sudo apt-get install k9copy

To start K9Copy type k9copy at the command prompt or use the Desktop GUI to navigate to Applications > Sound & Video > K9Copy. The program is pretty easy to figure out if you have used DVD Shrink or a similar application in the past. The defaults are pretty good. One thing I did was to navigate to Settings > Configure K9Copy… and change the DVD size to 4464 MB in the “DVD Backup” pane. This is because I want to burn copies to one-layer DVD-Rs. This size is slightly smaller than what a typical one-layer blank DVD can hold, but it is the same as the target size specified by DVD Shrink. To rip a DVD, place the disc in your drive and click the “Open” button in the K9Copy menu bar. Unless you want to do more complicated remastering of the disc’s contents, select the check box next to the disc’s root in the tree view window and click the “Copy” button in the menu bar. A dialog box will appear asking for a save name and location for the ISO (.iso file) that will be created.

To burn the ISO you just created to a disc, place a blank DVD in your drive and open Brasero by typing brasero at the command prompt or by navigating to Applications > Sound & Video > Brasero Disk Burning. When the project window opens, select “Burn Image.” If you have burned DVD images before the rest should be straightforward. Click “Properties” to change the burn speed, select the disk image (.iso file) from the drop down box, and click “Burn.”

Can you help with this problem?
