Use dvdbackup -M and it should work. Aditionally if you have libdvdcss the backup will be unprotected during the copy.

If you try to copy the file it won't work as from the filesystem point of view the disc has bad and unreadable sectors. But the position of the good data of the dvd is in some indexes of the disc and mplayer reads those and takes the good route. Then when you try to copy the file maybe there is a copy of the file in memory with the unreadable sectors bypassed or filled with good data. But anyway copying the DVD files directly is bad. Use dvdbackup.
