How to copy a DVD?

[Josef Lowder]

I did that, and I am able to mount the DVD that I burned and 
see that the contents does contain: k3b_image.img but it does 
not work when I try to view it on my TV's DVD player. 

When I mount the original source DVD, it contains two directories 
named VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. 

Is it possible that I might need to just copy those two files to my 
hard drive and then burn them to a DVD?
