K9copy For Linux

K9copy is a free, cross-platform and open source software project that allows you to effortlessly make copies of your DVD-Video discs. it will automatically compress DVD video streams, allowing you to copy DVD9 discs to the DVD5 format.

The application is capable of copying DVDs with or without menus. In case you want to copy a DVD-Video disc without menu, it will automatically use the dvdauthor program to create a new DVD structure. otherwise, K9Copy will reproduce the original structure of the DVD.

Another interesting feature is the ability to allow user to choose the order in which the video sequences are played when copying a DVD-Video disc without menus. It allows you to create ISO images, preview titles, preserve the original menus or to select which audio and subtitle tracks to be copied.

Being written in the C++ programming language and using the Qt GUI toolkit for the graphical user interface, K9copy has been designed from the ground up to be integrated into the KDE desktop environment.

This is a multi-platform program that supports both GNU/Linux and FreeBSD platforms, running on either 32-bit or 64-bit architectures. It is distributed as a source archive, but you can easily install it from the default software repositories of your OS.

Besides KDE, the K9copy application can be installed on other open source desktop environments, such as GNOME, Xfce or LXDE/LXQt, but it will require a large number of KDE-specific packages to work properly. Be aware though, that the project has been marked as inactive at the moment.
