DVD copy

[Jerry Lapham]

I'm running Kubuntu 8.04/KDE 3.5.10.  This evening I was trying to copy a 
2.7GB video DVD using K3b.  When it got to 58% read, 29% overall, it hung the 
system.  The mouse cursor disappeared, the Numlock light went off, and the 
capslock and scroll lock lights started flashing.  C-A-D didn't work, so I 
had to hit RESET.  The /tmp directory where the ISO was being written to had 
8GB free.  This happened twice.  Then I tried reading the DVD to an ISO file 
and burning the ISO in separate transactions and that worked.

Any ideas why?

in Hollywood actually has a Bible.  They had to just wing it." --Jay Leno
