I wonder what kind of copy protection they may possibly have on them. I'd try dd'ing them on a different computer if you haven't already. What about using K3b (which may very well be a front end for dd, I really don't know)? And, yes, I need to redo the layout of links on this site one of these years, so my <a href="/about" rel="nofollow">about page</a> is linked to again. That’s interesting.

As it turned out, some DVDs cannot be copied as an image. The dd will bail with EIO after about ~760KB. DearS v.1 and Midori no Hibi v.1 are like that, for instance. Copying VOBs from a mounted UDF gives the same error. However, mplayer has no trouble dumping VOBs. Christopher, I cannot find your e-mail anywhere, so here’s a comment.
