You could utilize mencoder, part of the mplayer package, to rip the dvd into a variety of formats and then use dvdrecord to put it onto a different DVD. Or you could just utilize dd and dvdrecord to perform the same task. If you have a DVD play and a seperate DVD recorder you could also use something like K3B to rip from the source DVD straight to the destination DVD...I think! - -- Aaron M.
