I haven't tried it, but you are right, it's a good idea. I would have thought
that disc copy in k3b or xcdroast would manage that without resorting to
anything exotic.

At present I would not trust the Extras release of k3b for video
DVD's. I have had issues and have filed bugs. I have tried the
testing version but that still has one issue that I have confirmed on
two machines.
If I was making multiple copies, I would create an iso image and just
burn that as many times as needed. K3B does work for burning iso's.
In a previous thread on making copies this was sent.
-------------
dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvdcopy.iso
cdrecord dev=/dev/dvd dvdcopy.iso
No need for mkisofs. If you have 2 dvd drives, you can pipe the output
of dd directly to cdrecord.
This works both for data and for e.g. movies (unencrypted!).
Similarly for cds.

This would be the quickest I would believe.
