Linux DVD Shrink Alternative

If you've been thinking of switching to Linux but REALLY need to make backups of DVD's, you're in luck: K9Copy is the fully featured DVD Shrink alternative.  It looks like it's no longer being updated (as of July 2011) but DVD's aren'tt changing all that much so this shouldn't be an issue.

There's also alternatives to the alternative.  Ya gotta love Linux.

EDIT: If you do the default install from the Software Manager you'll find that K9copy will not work from the menu.  Turns out the launcher properties are incorrect but it's easy to fix.  Change the "Command:" entry to "k9copy".  Not sure if the switch's actually work any more...
