Hey there all. I'm hoping to get some nice DVD backups from dual layered DVD9 discs so that they can potentially fit on DVD5. I would really love to keep the DVD menus that are on the discs (special features, subtitles, and so fourth.)
I've seen the following threads which have proven somewhat helpful, but they are rather out dated:

I've looked at k9copy but am afraid of all the dependencies it pulls up with it. It does the job though, maybe with telecine errors in some cases from what I've seen testing it.
vobcopy seems very promising, especially when using the following com
vobcopy -m /mounted/dvd/It backs up the entire DVD successfully from what I've seen, but not compressed at all. (but it does retain the menus and the all wanted special features and various subtitle selections).
So, "vamps" may bring what I need to the table - I hope.
vamps -e 1.50 -a 1 < ./large.vob > ./small.vobThat above, would supposedly turn a 7.5 gb .vob into a ~5gb .vob . I've tested it on a smaller on a smaller scale (1gb .vob to ~645mb)
I am not quite sure how to do this with the whole tree I am left with, though, which looks similar to the following.
$ ls ./NAME_OF_DVD/VIDEO_TS/
VIDEO_TS.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_02_0.BUP VTS_03_0.BUP VTS_04_0.IFO
VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_0.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB VTS_02_0.IFO VTS_03_0.IFO VTS_04_0.VOB
VIDEO_TS.VOB VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_5.VOB VTS_02_1.VOB VTS_03_1.VOB VTS_04_1.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_6.VOB VTS_02_2.VOB VTS_04_0.BUPEDIT:
Stumbled across 'backlite' which is a qt based copy of k9copy. Very promising from my first few impressions though I'm yet to thouroughly try this guy out. Any thoughts from other's how may know about it?
It would also be nice to learn how to effectively do this task from the comfort of a terminal.
