Fast, reliable desktop DVD backup and ISO preservation tool
Aegis DVD Backup is a modern, high-performance desktop application designed to back up, archive, and preserve DVDs from attached optical drives to your local storage. Whether archiving movie discs, home videos, or optical data, Aegis DVD Backup pairs an intuitive interface with a resilient, fault-tolerant read engine.
Key Features:
- Automatic Drive Discovery: Detects internal and USB optical drives, identifies media, and inspects disc structures (UDF, ISO9660).
- Smart Auto Mode: Automatically diagnoses disc state (unprotected, copy-protected, or damaged) and chooses the best backup backend.
- VIDEO_TS Folder Mirroring: Copies playable DVD-Video folders (IFO, BUP, and VOB files) ready for media players like VLC, Kodi, or Plex.
- 1:1 ISO Disc Images: Creates sector-accurate disc images for complete disc preservation and physical burning.
- Copy-Protection Negotiation: Built-in CSS key negotiation and dvdbackup integration for commercial discs.
- Fault Tolerance & Damage Resiliency: Wall-clock read timeouts prevent freezing on damaged or unreadable sectors; unreadable regions are cleanly zero-filled and mapped.
- Audit Sidecars: Writes a detailed disc.json sidecar with sector maps, hashes, and read health statistics alongside every backup.
- Modern Interface: Built with PySide6 featuring polished Dark and Light themes, real-time activity logs, and persistent window geometries.
Permissions & Setup: To allow the snap to communicate directly with your optical drive hardware, connect the following interfaces: sudo snap connect aegisdvdbackup:optical-drive sudo snap connect aegisdvdbackup:removable-media sudo snap connect aegisdvdbackup:hardware-observe sudo snap connect aegisdvdbackup:mount-observe
Notice: Intended for personal archival backups of legally owned media.
