Backup of DVD, getting error following arch guide

The guide I am using: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mak … _DVD_Video
I have copied my dvd in question to the disk:
dvdbackup -i/dev/sr0 -t1 -o /storage2/dvdfolder
The next step is posing a problem, it says to create IFO and .BUP files. I follow the guide meticulously, typing:
[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o /storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB
It just results in an error message.
ERR:  Must first specify -t, -m, or -x.
Now where on that line shall I put them t's and m's???
[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o -t/storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB
[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o -t /storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB
[reploid@archcomputer VIDEO_TS]$ dvdauthor -o /storage2/dvdcopy *.VOB -t
Nothing works and I am stuck...

It's telling you that you need to make a table of contents (-t). Try this without the *.VOB:
dvdauthor -o /storage2/dvdcopy/ -T
--EDIT--
EEEEK! I told a lie. -t is the title, -T is the table of contents. The table of contents may have been created in the step you did before this. Take a look at the following page:

and for any other questions, check the links on the above's referring page:

    Cannot butn DVD with Premier Elements 12 Get error message of internal software failure.

    Great news JMD103.
    There should be a big red pop-up, when one adds a Stop Marker to the end of the Timeline, saying "Do NOT do that!" That Stop Marker will almost always yield a failed Project output to DVD.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • Up graded from elements 9 to 11 tried to run incremental backup and keep getting error

    I keep getting error c:\ program data\adobe\elements organize\catalogs\my catalog\catalog pse 11 db. any help on this issue would be great.

    That's not one of Apple's better messages, unfortunately. 
    Most likely, there's a problem with a particular file, but they don't bother to tell you that.
    See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    Also note that, on Leopard, the restored drive will be treated like a new one, and Time Machine will do a full backup of it.  You cannot prevent that.    But if you meant 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), it probably will figure out what's happened and do only an "incremental" backup of the changes. 

  • Taking Backup on tape Getting Error

    Hi,
    My production server is running with SuSE Linux 10 SP2 with DB2 9.7 database.
    I have LTO4 tape drive directly connected to my Production server
    I am able to take backup to disk but when I am trying to take backup to tape I am getting error as below.
    SRSPROD:shpadm 38> db2 backup database SHP to /dev/st0
    SQL2031W  Warning! Please mount the target or source media on device
    "/dev/st0".
    Do you want to continue(c), terminate this device only(d), abort the utility(t) ? (c/d/t)
    I have full permissions on tape
    SRSPROD:shpadm 39> ls -l /dev/st0
    crwxrwxrwx 1 root disk 9, 0 2010-04-26 08:57 /dev/st0
    Thanku

    Hi,
    Before we start into deeper analysis I would like to confirm that normal       
    writes to the tape works e.g. with OS meanings. Could you please test          
    if you are able to put an archive with tar to the tape?                                                                               
    e.g. with "tar cvf /home/<user> /dev/<TAPEDEVICE>"                             
    What happens if you select continue as this message is only a warning? 
    Does the backup then end with an error?                                
    If so please update with the error you recieve.
    Regards,
    Paul

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Error during backup to DVD: Unknown Error when burning to disc (261)

    I'm writing on behalf of my brother who has an HP Pavilion ZE2120CA laptop and is using the latest version of iTunes. We were backing up his purchased music onto DVD but just after it says "Burning Disc Initialized" the disc ejects from the drive and it says this cryptic error message. We also tried connecting an external Plextor drive via USB2 - same thing. Any suggestions, white papers or documents out there that'll help us? Also feel free to talk technical to us because I am A+ Certified and while my brother is an English major he also has an intimate knowledge of computers and has several programming courses under his belt.
    Thanks,

    Look at some of the other topics. Many of them deal with backup problems since the release of version 7.3. Quite a few of them deal with your situation.

    Hi and welcome to the discussions!
    Google is your friend...
    I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
    Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

  • Burned dvd gets error "not supported"

    a friend gave me a dvd of an event that he recorded on his camcorder. i copied the dvd but the burned copy will not play in idvd 5 but the original will. the copy gives an error of "media not supported" or something like that. isnt it an exact copy?? do i need to try and import the video ts and audio ts files into imovie?

    i copied the dvd
    How did you 'copy' the DVD? iDVD isn't for copying DVDs - Disk Utility is for copying DVDs.
    Unfortunately, Disk Utility doesn't seem to like to copy DVD+R discs. Toast is your best bet.

    I get the following message - "Time Machine could not complete the backup."  "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder."" 
    This MAC is partioned with Windows 7 with only  50 gig devoted to Windows so my son can play Flight Simulator X on the machine. 
    I have a WD Passport External Hard Drive for the Back Up
    I have spoken with WD Tech Support and they have been fantastic but I still keep getting this message.  Any thought?

    Reboot the TC.. it sometimes gets lost on the network.. are you still actually using 10.6.8 as the problem is more prevalent on Lion and ML it seems is no better.
    You might find reset of the TC is needed. change the names to short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    Reset the TM to the new name.. use the A4 in Pondini's great KB.

  • HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).
