Unbelievably simple! Thank you.

I just spent hours trying to figure out how any of the tools I used to use to copy DVDs would copy a brand new region 2 disc. K3B relies on ‘transcode’ which has been dropped by both Ubuntu and Debian. k9copy doesn’t even seem to exist anymore. Everybody says “HandBrake”, but the devs will basically tell you they won’t support copying an encrypted DVD.

It didn’t even occur to me to just use VLC, which I used to actually play the disc last night!
