===Making a DVD iso===
Standards are made up by idiots. 8.3 filenames are standard of 20 years ago and it should be trashed a long time ago. The person who revised it should realize 31 character filename and 255 character path name are also going to hit limits sooner or later. The following creates an iso that's not compliant to the "standards" but backs up everything you need!

%%
genisofs -RJ -iso-level 4 -joliet-long -odisk1.iso disk1/
%%

===Make a DVD copy===
%%
$ cd /directory/where/you/want/to/save/the/dvd
$ dvdbackup -M; eject /dev/dvd
$ genisoimage -dvd-video -udf -o MovieName.iso movie_dir_saved_by_dvdbackup/
$ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=MovieName.iso

Alternately you can skip the genisoimage step:
$ growisofs -dvd-video -udf movie_dir_saved_by_dvdbackup/
