Just for the record, adding yourself to the group cdrom (or whatever group the device is) is probably easier than using sudo - none of the operations of dvdbackup need anything but read permissions on the device node. That is totally irrelevant, I know :) > it dumps between 0 and 400 MB of the DVD (depending on the DVD tried, > both DVD-5 and DVD-9).

The problem is that libdvdread3 is compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, and dvdbackup wasn't in this version. So copying from a libdvdread off_t to a dvdbackup off_t had interesting side effects, like scribbling all over random bits of memory. There was already a bug report open about it (#366092) but for some reason I had left it at severity important instead of grave, as it should be, so maybe you didn't see it. This is fixed, but stuck in the NEW queue (http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html). Ordinarily this has been processed reasonably quickly, but I think the people handling it are on vacation right now, so things are moving slowly. Sorry for the inconvenience. I am not sure what I can do about this, but I'll ask around. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
