GUI for DVD backup?

Hello,

I live in a different hemisphere from my parents. My parents use a
computer with Ubuntu (gutsy).
Normally everything goes fine. Now they paid someone to put old family
videos into DVDs, and they wanted to make copies of these to
distribute among the family.

Brasero fails to copy these. It thinks this (5Mb) data sector is the
whole DVD. I logged in trough VNC, and indeed through Brasero there
wasn't any *obvious* way to copy it. So I logged in though ssh, and
made a copy of it though dd. In any case, next time they try to copy a
DVD like that, I would like to have a better solution in place.

Is there any other *dead*simple* GUI tool to make ISO copies of DVDs
that is more bullet proof than Brasero? Anyone would know if K3B has a
better track record? (i normally just use dd....)

Thanks in advance for any help or comments,
--
