vobcopy on breezy

[Matt Egger]

I've been using vobcopy & k3b in hoary and breezy with great success. 
The way I get the vobs in the destination I want is to cd to that
directory.  I use the following command:

vobcopy -m

I haven't had any problems with missign IFO files.  For DVD9 discs, I
still use wine/DVDShrink to compress to DVD5.  I wish there was a
simple native-linux solution.  Any suggestions?

-ME

This takes care of
