Copying DVD: From my own old documentation

********************************************************

For copying a DVD bit-by-bit and record it later to another DVD, use:

dd if=/dev/hdd of=/disk-video/foo.iso

This will copy all data to the iso image foo.iso

To write the DVD use growisofs

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdd=/disk-video/foo.iso
/*growisofs uses builtin 'dd' command to write the iso image
  its similar to using dd if=/disk-video/foo.iso of=/dev/hdd
*/
*******************************************************

This all came from Google searches!

Good Luck.
