The port sysutils/dvdbackup will backup a dvd to your harddrive. You can then 
either burn the directory, or create an iso, by the normal means described in 
the handbook.

I've copied a few this way, but the last couple I tried came out as 8GB and I 
gave up and transcoded them instead, as I didn't fancy burning any dual-layer 
coasters. I'd be intested to know whether such disks really are DVD9, or 
whether this is some form  of copy-protection, IIRC there was a trick with 
cross-linking that did that on some software CDs.
