You should have a problem. DVDs are protected by a technology called Macrovision deigned to stop you doing precisley what you wish. Search under Macrovision for many Web hits on this (a quick search brought up http://www.repairfaq.org/filipg/LINK/F_MacroVision.html as a not-bad starter). I understand that there are a number of (probably illegal) routes to circumnavigating this problem, but if and how you do this will depend on what machinery you are using (from standalone DVD machine? from PC?), how much you want to fiddle about and how close you wish to skirt with the copyright laws.
