Question Copying DVDs in Linux
This one's for Linux buffs...

I got some silver DVDs I want to copy in Linux. I can burn DVDs just fine, but never done a copy from DVD. So I'm wondering:

Is it possible to simply mount the source DVD, copy its contents (the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders) to the harddrive, then run mkisofs on the tree to build a video ISO file and then burn it with dvdrecord like usual?

I don't have two DVD drives, so I can't do any direct copying, unforntunately.

Thanks in advance!
