About:
dvd-vr is a command-line utility designed to parse and process DVD-VR format files, which are commonly created by DVD recorders. It can identify individual video recordings within the raw VRO files and extract them as standard MPEG-2 streams. This tool is invaluable for users looking to digitize or recover video content from their DVD-RW discs.

Key Features:

Parses DVD-VR format structure to locate recordings
Extracts video streams to standard MPEG-2 files
Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Lightweight and focused on a single task

Use Cases:

Backing up recordings from DVD-RW discs to a hard drive
Converting DVD-VR format videos for editing or playback on other devices
Recovering video data from partially corrupted discs

Alternatives:

ffmpeg – A much broader multimedia toolkit that can sometimes handle DVD-VR streams but is less specialized for this specific format.
vobcopy – Focuses on copying VOB files from standard DVD-Video discs, not the DVD-VR format.
