Not point'n'click here..
I use vobcopy -m to produce an identical mirror.. and if it's more than 4.8G I use DVDShrink under 
wine to re-quantize the data to get it to 4.8G then it produces an ISO for me I burn with growisofs..

Works, it's foolproof and easy, just not completely point'n'click

I keep all my DVD images on hard disk anyway, I just burn them off if I want to watch them at 
someone elses house..
