DvdShrink 3.2 from Mr Bass works
http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/, however only for
nonencrypted ones.  Have not learned how to use DVD43
with wine in Linux to help this case.  For all other
cases, try DVDFabDecrypter 
http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm

You will need to rip the movie first to hard disk and
then use Shrink to make an iso and burn with K3B or
growisofs from command line.  It could work, I have
not tested for the past year.  IT worked with FC5 Test
2 on a machine I ran for testing, have not tried
since.

This is something that is taken in the wrong way.  You
need to protect your investment.  Make a backup copy
and use it and if you need it because a child
scratched it, you can easily bring it back.  IT makes
alot of sense, instead of dishing out more $$ for
another copy.
