[Multimedia] dvd9to5 - Backup DVDs

heres a PKGBUILD for a perl script that _apparently_ is able to rip and compress dual layer dvds to single layer size AND include the menus!
[edit] it didnt burn the menus, just the main movie.. however, the process was painless [/edit]

fyi, it needs alot of space to rip, encode etc.. id recommend ~15-20gigs free on the drive you chose as your workspace (in the /etc/dvd9to5.conf file)

enter `dvd9to2.pl -h' to get the help menu

im not sure if using the -D option (Delete unneeded files, i only found out about it after the test) will mean you dont need as much space during the rip, or if it just deletes the files on the dvd that arent used before its burnt..

other dependencies can be found in this thread
