![]() ![]() I converted one of my son's DVDs to an ISO image file that I saved on the hard drive of my laptop. I'm wary of buying another external DVD drive because I don't want to get cheated again. Dell didsn't offer any support for their external DVD drives. I had to pry it open to remove a DVD that it wouldn't eject. ![]() It didn't matter what laptop I plugged it into. It never would play the Abeka DVDs or any other DVD. The Dell DW514 external drive I purchased new was defective. I want to copy the DVDs on my laptop, which has an internal DVD drive, to a USB drive so he can play them on his laptop without having to fuss with the worn out internal DVD drive. It takes him an hour sometimes to play a DVD from Abeka. The DVD drive on my son's computer is failing. Unfortunately Balena Etcher and Unetbootin no longer install without error messages on Ubuntu 22.04 so I'm unable to burn the iso to my USB drive. Now Brasero works and I created an image file from one of the DVDs. I found how to install it using Terminal in a thread on this forum. ![]() I tried using Brasero but the libdvdcss.so.2(library) was missing. After several hours of searching I was unable to find any Linux tutorials on how to create an iso image from a dvd and burn it to a USB drive. (yeah, right) I read a tutorial and tried using the dd command in Terminal to copy the DVD ISO but kept getting error messages. He told me it would be easier to copy an ISO image of the DVD and save it on the USB stick. I called my cyber genius friend who got me started using Linux several years ago. I tried reformatting the USB drive using Gparted but it didn't give me the option to reformat it in VFAT or exFAT so that was a waste of time. I figured I could copy one of the DVDs to an 8 GB USB drive but since the USB was formatted in FAT32 there wasn't enough room. After fussing with it for several hours I ended up prying it apart with a screwdriver to remove a DVD that wouldn't eject and threw it in the trash. Our newer laptops don't have DVD drives so I purchased a Dell DW514 external drive which never functioned correctly with either our Ubuntu or Windows laptops. My wife and I home school our son and we receive his lessons in the form of DVDs. ![]()
