Embarassing, but I needed to change the CHANGE_ME paths to eliminate the errors. |

I've been experimenting with dvdrip and it seems like if I want |
| 22 |
perfect image quality I'll only save about half the space and the |
| 23 |
process is such a mess. It's time-consuming and lossy. I think I'll |
| 24 |
stick with: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
dd if=/dev/dvd of=image.dvd |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
and pay a $2 storage fee per movie instead of $1. That's perfect |
| 29 |
quality, all the features, and full menus. I could see it if you're |
| 30 |
trying to fit a movie on a CD or a single-layer DVD, but it doesn't |
| 31 |
make sense to me for hard disk backups. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I wish there was something like FLAC for video so you could make a |
| 34 |
perfect backup and the only option to be concerned with would be time |
| 35 |
vs. space. |
