I cobbled this together from a few sources, and it's been helpful for me, so I wanted to pass it along.
This command will use dd to dump the contents of the DVD to a file (say, an .iso file), but it pipes the progress through pv to give you a progress bar.
Pretty handy. :)
$ pv -pter -w 80 /dev/dvd | dd of=movie.iso
0:03:12 [11.8MB/s] [========> ] 22% ETA 0:11:13
Anybody else got any cool little tips?
