Using dd to back up a DVD (for in case dvd gets damaged), I am getting

So, the .VOB file copied to HD is all messed up????
I do not know yet, because the process is still in progress.
In the past, I never had this issue, and I have seen many
of my dvd's and CD's get damaged when inserted into friend's
home entertainment centers, and had to rebuild them from HD backup.
Any clues how to prevent this message coming from dd ?
Are you using only "dd" or are you also using "tar"? I only ask since I've not seen
the message coming from "dd" but recall seeing it from "tar".
My bad!!! I had multiple tar instances running.
And you are right. dd was in another window,
and somehow it stuck in my mind when I started
to type my message.
Yes, it IS tar.
The DVD is mounted as
/run/media/jd/MODERN_DESIGN_CONCEPTS
and I was taring it out by the commands
cd /run/media/jd/MODERN_DESIGN_CONCEPTS/VIDEO_TS
tar cf - . | tar -C /sdc5/backups/dvd/MODERN_DESIGN_CONCEPTS -xpvf -
