Today was one of those days when I had to fall back to windows 
I wanted to backup my DVD to avi for the PS3 and found my unusual method of using dd to dump the DVD to an iso file failed. I kept getting the message error reading disc.
I tried my other method of using vobcopy but this failed as well with errors.
My next try was DVD-Shrink via wine this method has worked on occasion but only on old discs, this time the app hung.
My last resort was booting into windows and using DVDFab, I could have installed it via wine but after spending so long trying I just wanted it done, so I could get on with other things.
Anyway windows came through and the image can now be converted into a ps3 compatible format.
In case you wonder why I do it the long way, I just don't like having my DVD drive spinning for several hours when I am converting video, especially if I do higher resolution backup.
Well it's almost done and I have probably saved another disc from the sticky hands of my kids.
