I get a message: # mount -t udf /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd mount: No medium found I tried UDF because auto, or iso9660, didn't work either.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Transcoding movie DVD to MPEG4?
I am not an expert about this. I have used dvd:rip to copy a dvd DL file (8+GB) to HDD. After mounting the image as a loop device (see man mount) I was able to burn the image to a disk with dvd9to5. It worked in that particular instance.
