[KLUG Members] Duping a DVD

[Mark Bystry]

adam, you flippin' amaze me. i always enjoy reading your posts. i learn so much.

anyway, i'm not familiar at all with duping a dvd from the command line. i am interesting in making 
a 1:1 copy of an encrypted dvd. how do i do this exactly from a command line?
