Hello John,
What did you do in k3b to get the error "no video transcoding". To copy
a DVD all you need is to copy the directory structure off it and no
trancoding is needed.
Here is what I usually do using growisofs (you will need to install
dvd+rw-tools to use growisofs):
To copy a dvd:
~$ dd if=/dev/dvd of=imagename.iso
To write it to a dvd+/-r
~$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=imagename.iso
You can also read the page I wrote for my own reference:
