For backing up a dvd or anything in OSX you should get to know the dd command that you can run from the Terminal application located in the utilities folder inside the applications folder on your OSX hard drive. Visit HOWTO Backup a DVD - Gentoo Linux Wiki for more information. That one is for linux but it works the same under oSX. I used it recently and it worked perfectly. First you have to unmount your dvd via the command umount. So you would do umount /Volumes/drive name or umount /dev/disk### with ### being disk1s0 or something like that. After its unmounted you can do "dd if /dev/disk### of=filename.iso" It works great and learning the command line will help you immensely and give you access to a lot of existing unix tools.
