There is no an easy way to do it. Because most commercial DVD are double in capacity to an existing recordable DVD, you need a program to remove the copyright protection and copy or reencode the video to fit in one or two DVDs.

Go to the tool section and check the reviews for each tool

i've had a lot of luck with the program dvd shrink, u should probably try that out, its free and a lot of people like it.

My process involves the following:

1) DVD Decrypter to backup the DVD onto my hard drive minus the encryption

2) DVD2ONE to gut it of all menus and extras so that it will fit onto one DVD-R

3) Nero (in UDF mode) to burn.

If you don't want to bother with all of the hassles, use DVD X Copy Express. It is very fast and easy to use.
