With DeCSS installed, here's what I do. YMMV and if it breaks, you
get to keep both pieces:


$ dvdbackup -M -i /dev/dvd -o /some/output/dir
$ mkisofs -v -V "Disc Name" -dvd-video -o SOME_DARN_DVD.iso /some/output/dir
# growisofs -speed=2 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=SOME_DARN_DVD.iso 

Change "-speed=2" to a value compatible with you DVD writer.
