I’ve got to do some DVD backups, and pretty much every time I have to do them I have to lookup the best options as it’s a not-often-used command for me. So, I thought I would log it here so I know I have a quick reference. I should really place this in a Wiki, it would make more sense….

I currently use dvdshrink to extract the data. I have not yet found the equivalent command line utilities for Linux, though it is an agenda item of mine to find out what it does.

To write the pre-formated ISO data image:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

For now I am going to place this stuff in the sites pages and see how I get on.
