Correct. If you use dd to copy an encrypted disk, the result will be |

missing something like 90% of the data. |

No it doesn't. You can use dvdbackup (or k9copy or ...) to copy the |
22 |
DVDs to the computer and when you play them back you get all the menus |
23 |
and special features and whatnot. If you want you can create ISO |
24 |
images and burn them to dual-layer-DVDs, but you don't need to do that |
25 |
to play them with all the features. |
