If it is a commercial DVD, it has encryption on it. MacTheRipper will 
remove the encryption for you. DVD Backup should do it also, but I like 
MacTheRipper better.

Once you rip it to harddrive, test it with DVD Player. Open the 
VIDEO_TS folder with DVD Player and see if it plays correctly (be sure 
the original DVD is ejected - DVD Player can get confused).

If the VIDEO_TS does play properly then burn it with Toast using the 
'DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS folder' radio button in the Advanced tab of 
the Video drawer.
