Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Dual boot question

I meant that when you copy a DVD it creates a folder in /tmp of the root
directory to stores the various files found on a 9 GB DVD. This is the case
even if you are using DVDshrink or DVD95. They don't happen in real time,
even if you have two DVD drives. It is copied first to the hard drive then
copied to DVD when all is done copying. This does not have to be illegal
copying because people can make archival copies so the kids can play Disney
DVDs without destroying the originals. It could also mean copies of
uncopyrighted DVDs. It could also mean piracy, since Linux leaves it up to
the end user to police their own actions. We hope not, but this still occurs
(or so I am told). :)

I make a lot of my own videos but do not exceed a standard DVD because the
dual layer ones are too expensive.

I think AVIs and the like are ripped to the home folder, but I have not done
this in years so could be wrong.
