Hello jhouse59.

Heres a quick and easy way to create an iso file from any cd/dvd under linux:

Step 1: sudo umount /dev/cdrom
Step 2: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=filename-goes-here.iso bs=1024

or

sudo umount /dev/cdrom dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=1024

You can also do the same with folders:

mkisofs -r -o file.iso /location_of_folder/

or

Easiest method

You can insert your CD/DVD an just right click the icon from the CD/DVD which is mounted on your desktop, and choose "Copy Disc". Then from the popup window choose properties, then change the "image type" to which ever format you want ISO, TOC, RAW, CUE ect. After doing that click apply, then you can go ahead and click copy. Njoy

Let me know the out come.

I take it the DVD in question is not copyright protected? if it indeed is you will need to "back it up" before you convert it to ISO... I believe k9copy is in the repositories somewhere?

Just To Update.K9copy Wont make The Iso File! It Will Leave The HD Folders.But I Just Tried DVD9 To 5.It Works Great Removes All The Copyright stuff and shrinks it to 4.4 GB.Its also Got better options for subs, audio etc.Give it a try.It backs up dvds great.No word on when theyll get K9copy right......................smuggly

Hello to you all.

This is HOW TO make from DVD ISO with k3b.
It is very easy to do it this way.
Just few cklics and it will do the job.
Then you will have the ISO in the /tmp files.

First install this packages:



Under search in synaptic-ISO you need to install some packages:













Then you will have to configure the k3b to over burn the 2 option from the top:


Now under tools-copy DVD-pick the option-make iso-mark-applay.
That is all,and It work just fine for me.
