script to backup dvd9 -> dvd5 without wine and reencoding

[Marko Loparic]

Hi,

Does someone has a script to could facilitate my task

1. Find the main movie in a dvd (I do it now inspecting the output of
dvdunauthor)
2. Find out how to split to movie in two, respecting a chapter break,
so that both parts fit in a dvd5 media (I make a guess using the time
information of the chapters)
3. Rip both parts without reencoding, generating two mpeg files (or
reuse the files created by dvdunauthor).
4. Add a "insert new disk" frame (easy and not very important)
5. Record both mpeg files into different dvd5 media. I do it now with
dvdauthor but I lose the information about the audio and subtitle
names (I did not study the dvdunauthor xml file enough to find out how
to keep this information).

Thanks a lot!
Marko

dvdbackup <http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dvdbackup.html> can do this,
except that it doesn't calculate the split point automatically.  The
last two steps should be quite easy to do with the output from
dvdbackup.
