So even something that just copies blocks of data, like > dd, can't be used for that purpose? Correct. If you use dd to copy an encrypted disk, the result will be missing something like 90% of the data. > I have no interest in tearing apart the DVD in any way.

No it doesn't. You can use dvdbackup (or k9copy or ...) to copy the DVDs to the computer and when you play them back you get all the menus and special features and whatnot. If you want you can create ISO images and burn them to dual-layer-DVDs, but you don't need to do that to play them with all the features. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
