1. Plug in the dvd 2. Run lsblk to see if it got detected 3. Run dd if=/dev/cdrom of=dvd.dvd status=progress 4. You can now play the ripped dvd using mpv: mpv dvd://0/dvd.dvd If you need to get rid of digital restrictions management, you can try this guide [https://latte.isnot.coffee/comment/329423]

Yeah this won’t work with 99.9 percent of DVDs or Blu-ray because of the DRM and the way the drives behave, not sure why you’d even post this.

non DRM protected DVD. It's actually from Disney so I was quite surprised when there was no DRM

If it’s Disney without DRM it’s probably a bootleg DVD
