Hi all,
So, I figured out that there is more to dvd-backups than just the software
and code. It also comes down to the hardware you are using. I use k9copy
and k3b which are the front-ends with everything needed to backup dvds. I
needed to switch from using the dvd-roms in both my pcs to using the
dvd-writers to rip as well as write the dvds and this solved the issue. If
your writer is newer, you should not experience any failures. Average
backup (ripping/burning) takes about 2 hours, but is very thorough. Hope
this helps someone.
Take care,
Tsai
