Daniel,

Again, thanks for replying.  Your advice worked and I ended up making a 
"coaster"  Encoding stuff.  Question; I have libdvdread, libdvdcss, 
etc. installed.  Does k3b, or are there command line options that 
incorporate those kinds of programs when it copies? I guess not.

Anyway, maybe you or some kind soul could point me to a how-to for 
decrypting so that a usable copy is made.

Making some progress here. At least i copied and burned.
