Re: [PLUG] Ripping a scratched DVD

[Will <staticphantom@gmail.com>]

I'm not sure if talking about ripping an OS disk is the best to discus on the email list.... But in the past I have been there.  I haven't had to rip the Mac OS disks in some time but what I learned is that you MUST use software that will do a direct copy that includes the bad sectors. The bad sectors are purposely put on the disk to make copying them that much harder. I used to use a trick to burn the disks on the command line for my Mac but I cannot remember what I did or if I needed extra software.

Folks,
My niece scratched her copy of Frozen and all I have at my cousins place is Windows and Mac OS X. I tried handbrake and disk utility (Mac equivalent of gparted), but both failed out with i/o errors. Has anyone ever done this?

The fun thing about Linux is that I can just download it and live boot it!

Thanks
Amul
