[Cialug] Naïve DVD question

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

I tried dd to rip the disc and it worked just fine, thanks. I burned 
(burnt? how does one conjugate "to burn" as used for CDs?) a new copy 
with cdrecord and tested it in a DVD player.

There isn't any copy protection on the disc. I haven't checked to see if 
it has region encoding, but it shouldn't.
