dvd_copy
ships with the dvd_info package. It lets you copy a track with specific chapters from a disc to filesystem or stdout. See –help
for options:
dvd_copy 1.2 - copy a single DVD track to the filesystem Usage: dvd_copy [-t track] [-c chapter[-chapter]] [-o filename] [dvd path] DVD path can be a device name, a single file, or directory. Examples: dvd_copy # Read default DVD device (/dev/sr0) dvd_copy /dev/dvd # Read a specific DVD device dvd_copy video.iso # Read an image file dvd_copy ~/Videos/DVD # Read a directory that contains VIDEO_TS Output filenames: dvd_copy # Save to "dvd_track_##.vob" where ## is longest track dvd_copy -o video.vob # Save to "video.vob" (MPEG2 program stream) dvd_copy -o video.mpg # Save to "video.mpg" (MPEG2 program stream) dvd_copy -o - # Stream to console output (stdout)
Note that saving to a vob
or mpg
extension doesn't change the content, I'm only adding those examples as a visual indicator that that's what the formats are.
dvd_copy does not copy VobSub subtitle tracks. The closed captioning subtitles are in there because it's part of the MPEG2 transport stream. You can use ccextractor to get them out.
