Convert/Copy your CD/DVD media as .iso file using dd

I had taken some Dvd Movies last week. But my Dvd player did not played them. I think the player damaged somehow. So i decided to copy them to my Arch Linux installed laptop. A few months ago, i had 1-1 copied my hard drive to a new one with “dd” tool at console. But this time i needed to copy something as .iso. So i read the manual of dd and find out the way easily.

# sudo dd if=/dev/dvd of=/home/cihan/The_Movie.iso

As you guess from the above line, “if” determines the source(Here is the movie in my dvd drive), “of” determines the destination as iso file.

Have a nice time with your movie!
