That would most likely be CSS encryption preventing what you are trying
to do. With appropriately installed DeCSS software, you can run:
vobcopy -i /dev/dvd -o /scratch/DVDNAME -m
That'll decrypt and mirror the entire contents of the DVD into /scratch/DVDNAME
directory. If you then want it in a DVD UDF image format:
mkisofs -dvd-video -o /scratch/DVDNAME.img /scratch/DVDNAME
