	I think the real way to rip a DVD to a hard drive is to use DD. Here is
what I was given to rip a CD to my HD:

karl at karl-hardy:~$ dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/home/karl/Desktop/xp.iso bs=2048
conv=notrunc

Here I am getting the cd from /dev/scd0 and sending it to xp.iso on my
hard drive. It came fast and was a perfect copy.

	I checked and it appears if you have a combination CD-DVD player/record
unit as I do that your going to use /dev/scd0 as well for your DVD.

Good Luck and of course you do the above inside a Terminal Window...
