That opens the dvd, then dumps the contents to a single file. See the mplayer manual for details.
Not sure how Myth does this stuff, but I seem to recall it can be simply scripted.
Hope I didn't make a mistake on that line ;-)

From Andrew's instructions, I've done the following and it seems to work...
1. Insert DVD and run xine, let it start playing the DVD, then exit it.
2. dd if=/dev/dvd of=/video/movie.iso bs=2048 (replace path and filename to suit)
3. xine dvd:///video/movie.iso
Optionally, go into the File Types Settings in MythTV Video setup and create a new filetype called iso with the command set to xine -pfhq dvd://%s
