The disc I am trying to copy is a standard movie DVD.  I have directed
the above commands at any and all directories/files in the trees of the
initial DVD.

I tried dvdbackup as well, but it is not as effective, because the
resultant copies have had their copy protection stripped off (and then
they don't play in DVD players reliably) - what I am looking for is a
bit-for-bit copy (onto a dual layer disc if necessary).  Is this
possible?  Are there features on a DVD that make this unworkable?
