Backup of DVD, getting error following arch guide

The guide I am using: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mak … _DVD_Video

I have copied my dvd in question to the disk:

dvdbackup -i/dev/sr0 -t1 -o /storage2/dvdfolder

The next step is posing a problem, it says to create IFO and .BUP files. I follow the guide meticulously, typing:

[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o /storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB

It just results in an error message.

ERR:  Must first specify -t, -m, or -x.

Now where on that line shall I put them t's and m's???
[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o -t/storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB
[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o -t /storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB
[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o /storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB -t

Nothing works and I am stuck...

Re: Backup of DVD, getting error following arch guide

It's telling you that you need to make a table of contents (-t). Try this without the *.VOB:

dvdauthor -o /storage2/dvdcopy/ -T

--EDIT--

EEEEK! I told a lie. -t is the title, -T is the table of contents. The table of contents may have been created in the step you did before this. Take a look at the following page:

and for any other questions, check the links on the above's referring page:

No luck.

I'll google for something else to copy DVDs with. Strange, I thought that was such a basic issue that it would be easier to find n00b information about it.
