If the total disk space is below 4.4gb then take a look at this
http://dvd-create.sourceforge.net/  to backup the dvd to disk, then use 
growisofs to make the .iso

http://dvd-create.sourceforge.net/dvdbackup-readme.html



Use lxdvdrip if it over 4.4gb

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/lxdvdrip/

lxdvdrip will automate grabbing, compression of the video files, and making 
the .iso, then burning the iso. If you do not want to burn it, then do not 
configure that part of the config file. /etc/lxdvdrip.conf
