Are you sure that mplayer is needed in that case? If the DVD is regionalised, then running mplayer will allow you to clone it to hard-drive, but I don't think that image will then be burnable. At least, not to play on a regular household DVD player - the image will still carry some CSS encryption. I use this method regularly to clone DVDs to hard-drive for ripping to MP4. But during that ripping process mencoder does some decryption transparently. This is discussed in August's long thread "Cloning movie DVDs with dd - only works after accessing disk with another command?". Stroller.
