DVDBackupExpress is a script to automate the process of backing up an entire DVD-Video disc (minus the data content that may be on there). The script will convert the DVD into a *.iso file.

Requirements:

• dvdbackup
• Linux
• libdvdcss
• mkisofs

Code:

#!/bin/bash
DEVICEPATH="/dev/sr0"
BACKUPPATH="${HOME}/Desktop"
TMP="${TMPDIR}"
LOG="${HOME}/.DVDBackupExpress.log"

##Write Date & Time to Log File
echo "-------------------------------------" > "${LOG}"
echo "`date +%B %d, %Y`" >> "${LOG}"
