K9Copy is a free, open source DVD backup and DVD authoring program for Unix-like operating systems such as GNU/Linux and BSD.

Features

K9Copy facilitates several methods for backing up a DVD and utilizes libdvdcss to circumvent CSS copy protection.

The software enables direct backup of a single layer DVD-5 provided the user's computer has a DVD recorder. Likewise, direct backup of a dual layer DVD-9 is possible with a dual layer DVD recorder.

K9Copy is able to fit the contents of a dual layer DVD-9 onto a single layer DVD-5. The interface allows a user to explicitly retain or discard any content from the original disc such as video titles, audio tracks, subtitles and the DVD menu. All content selected for backup is compressed to a configurable target size (4400 MB by default) and stored on the user's hard drive as either an ISO image file or a DVD VIDEO_TS folder. K9Copy can either transfer the backup data to blank DVD%C2%B1R media itself or utilize external DVD authoring software such as K3b for this task. Furthermore, an ISO image file produced by K9Copy can be recorded to DVD by any software on any platform capable of recording ISO images to disc.

Functionality for backing up a DVD to a MPEG-4 file rather than a disc also exists in K9Copy. The interface allows the user to select preferred codecs for video and audio as well as a target file size or bit rate for the resulting MPEG-4.

K9Copy includes basic DVD authoring capabilities.

Development

K9Copy is an actively developed project hosted at SourceForge.net.

A port of K9Copy to the KDE 4 desktop environment has been developed which takes advantage of Qt 4 and KDE 4 improvements such as Phonon and Solid.
