Do not use broken software that mangles files while copying. dvdbackup
or vobcopy -m just copy dvd structure without changing data other than
decss-ing mpeg stream.

You totally miss the point. Unix always was about using small tools for
specific tasks, and not the huge-o-matic for everything like MS Word.

You could pack all functionally into mplayer (upchać tam łyżką do butów
wszystko co Ci przyjdzie do głowy), but it would grow beyond the
reasonable size and like all tools ``doing everything for everybody'' it
would propably not do any one thing well.
