My girlfriend gives a lecture called somehing like "movie-forum". It's very interesting that the lesson lacks of the second half of its name. I don't care. The thing is she asked me to burn some movies in DVD she borrowed from someone for her to take to the school and show them.
So I turned the computer on, logged in and...
- Hit Alt-F2
- Wrote k3b and hit enter
- Clicked DVD copy
- Clicked "Just create image" (or something similar)
- Clicked Accept
- Waited till the tray opened
- Inserted the blank DVD
- `Step 6`
- Click Close
- goto Step 3
But then I reminded of a friend of mine who is always saying a quote from someone I can't recall.
If you have to do something twice, you need a for. So I made a script. With this script added some things I consider useful besides, it is made for copying various movies (not just one). The funny thing is, I never used a for =P. And I also don't know if this saves time, money or effort:

I wont tell you what it does. I want you to try it. To run the script "as is", you need:
- Wodim
- DD
- Off course a dvd unit capable of burning
Uhm, you need some kde sounds as well. You know you can change that (I used WTF Public Licence again).
Just
$chmod u+x ./burn-movies
and
$./burn-movies device
Where "
device" is the location of your unit in /dev/. If you omit it, it will just use /dev/dvdrw.
Have fun.
I think the one who said that about the "for" was http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dijkstra but I'm not sure.
