K9Copy is a small utility which allows the copy of DVD on Linux. The DVD video stream is compressed by the program Vamps.
Copy without menus :
In this case, dvdauthor is used to create a new DVD structure. It is possible to choose the order in which the video sequences are played.
Copy with menus :
As dvdauthor does not make it possible to integrate the original menus, K9Copy reproduces the original structure of the DVD. The navigation packs as well as IFO files are modified to point on the compressed MPEG stream.
The creation of personalized menus has not been renewed in version 1.0.0.
