Agreed. Given how much disk space I have available these days I'm
more than happy to go straight to an iso. I find "dd if=/dev/dvd
of=title.iso" often works very well. Recently I've started using
dcfldd, which is a bit more reliable with better diagnostics. This
approach has worked for some box sets I have, but not for all.<br>

I use dvdbackup. It extracts and decrypts the contents, skipping
sections of the disc that aren't used. I use a wrapper script to
put it back into a .iso file and clean up. I used to use dd, but it
seems some discs have errors on sectors that aren't accessed during
playback, so a tool that ignores those makes for cleaner rips.<br>
<br>
I like to keep all the extra features.<br>

At some point, I'm going to rip my whole library to a file server.
A file server is much cheaper than a nice entertainment cabinet to
store them.<br>
<br>
I just wish I had a player that interpreted the "do-not-skip" flag
on content as "auto-skip."<br>
