Assuming your DVD drive is /dev/hdc, execute the following from the command line:

Code: [Select]

dd if=/dev/hdc of=dvd.iso

Verify that the DVD and the ISO file are exactly the same:

Code: [Select]

diff /dev/hdc dvd.iso -r

Insert a blank DVD of the same type as the original (-R, +R, DVD5, DVD9). Burn the new DVD from the ISO:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=dvd.iso

You can find this little howto here.
