I don't know the details of how the DVD encryption works but the end
result is that your image will lack some key signature which will
prevent it from playing all the content. Otherwise, yes, no special
software would be needed. I think there was a bug a while back where
DiskUtility actually would allow you to image a DVD to your hard drive
and folks would do that to take movies on trips. Running a movie from
hard disk takes a lot less power than from the DVD drive. I don't recall
when that loophole got fixed but last I tried it my DVD image wouldn't
work beyond the initial menu system.
Of course if you got it to work on a commercial DVD please say so. That
would be great news!

What does it matter if you are making an image of the media?

Sounds like your DVD had no encryption or DRM. This is unusual for a
commercial DVD but common for personal home videos and the like.

Hi all,
When I want to copy a CD or DVD I place the media in the tray. After
the icon for the media shows up on the desktop I select it and go to
the file menu then arrow down to duplicate. I click duplicate. A
folder with the same name as the media will be created. I remove the
media from the tray. I place a blank media in the tray. I place the
focus on the folder that was made by using duplicate. Next I go to
the file menu and arrow down to burn and click it. After the burning
is completed I have a working copy.
My question is why do we need special soft ware to copy CD's or DVD's?
