Ripping a dvd to an image that can be burned to a writable dvd is not
a cut and dried procedure for a number of reasons.  I have used a
number of tools on bsd to get the job done in various circumstances.=20
The tools I've used include vobcopy, mplayer/mencoder, transcode (for
tcrequant), mjpeg-tools (for mplex), dvdauthor, and growisofs.  I have
also used dvdrip with some success.  Hope this information moves you
in the right direction.
