Hello John, What did you do in k3b to get the error "no video transcoding". To copy a DVD all you need is to copy the directory structure off it and no trancoding is needed. Here is what I usually do using growisofs (you will need to install dvd+rw-tools to use growisofs): To copy a dvd: ~$ dd if=/dev/dvd of=imagename.iso To write it to a dvd+/-r ~$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=imagename.iso You can also read the page I wrote for my own reference: http://ghaint.no-ip.org/~k2/debian/dvdburn.html HTH, /kds -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
