I've never used K3B either. If I want to make an exact
(decrypted, dereionalize) copy, I just do this:
$ dvdbackup -M -i /dev/sr0 -o dvds
<remove original DVD, replace with blank double-layer>
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0 -dvd-video dvds/<TITLENAME>

Exactly. The dvdbackup/growisofs method works fine for making
same-size copies.
This is getting me down: <sigh . . .>

This must be the third wasted DL DVD. I think that I will need to
concentrate on transcoding the darn thing from now on. I wish I could
pin point the problem. When I tried playing the DVD in M$Windows it
complained about the region not being set - but I didn't have any such
problem in Linux. Nero express won't even see the DL disk, just shows
the size of CD. Could it be something to do with the firmware?
