<!-- The contents of the documentation begin here. Label
each chapter so with the id attribute. This is necessary for two reasons: it
allows you to easily reference the chapter from other chapters of your
document, and if there is no ID, the name of the generated HTML files will vary
from time to time making it hard to manage for maintainers and for the CVS
system. Any chapter labelled (OPTIONAL) may be left out at the author's
discretion. Other chapters should not be left out in order to maintain a
consistent documentation style across all KDE apps. -->

<para>The main goal of k9copy is to be an easy to use and powerfull DVD backup app.
</para>
<para>
Once oppened, the DVD structure is shown in a treeview (the central widget).
</para>
<para>
The selection is made by checkboxes. You can select the entire DVD, a Titleset or just a specific language or subtitle from a DVD title.
</para>
<para>The backup can be made in three ways :</para>
<para>- backup with orginal menus. In this case, k9copy reproduces the orginial structure of the DVD without the unselected parts.
</para>
<para>- backup without menus. In this case, k9copy reproduces the orginial structure of the DVD without the unselected parts and without menus.
</para>
<para>- backup without menus via dvdauthor . In this case, k9copy makes a reauthoring of the DVD. K9copy uses libdvdnav from xine to ensure that the DVD will be copied as it were played with xine.

<para>
Use the checkbox beside the titleset to make a copy of a whole titleset.
</para>
<para>
It's now possible to selecte only the wanted chapters from a title.
</para>
<para>
A title must have a video stream : if you select an audio language or a subtitle language, the video stream will be automatically selected. If you deselect the video stream, the title will not be backuped.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Playback options of the new DVD</title>
<para>
If the DVD you want to backup has interactive menus, you can keep them on your backup. Some DVDs have menus whose size is important. To preserve these menus would increase the shrink factor and would involve a loss of quality.
<inlinemediaobject>

<imagedata fileref="keepmenus.png" format="PNG"/>

</inlinemediaobject>
</para>
<para>
If you chose not to preserve the menus, you can then define some playback options :

</para>
<para>
When a title is selected, it appears in the Selected Titles list. Use buttons on the right of this list to define in which order the titles will be played.
</para>
<para>
You can define the default audio language or the default subtitle for each title. Hilite a title in the title list and the two comboboxes will be filled with the available languages (those which where selected in the treeview).
