Others have recommended xdvdshrink, and I will, too. In my first test
with it I copied a DVD to the hard drive, getting the VIDEO_TS and
AUDIO_TS folders. To burn, I fired up k3b. I had to right-click to get
the icon to start a new video dvd project. k3b already had the
AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS for me, so I just browsed my filesystem and
added the files from my copy. Before burning I double checked my
options and had to change the location of the tmp file (I have a
separate /tmp partition but it's way too small to hold a dvd image),
and I had to force k3b to use a dvd-r instead of dvd+r dl, but it
burned perfectly. I'm not sure why you had a problem burning with k3b.
Good luck!
