usually dd if=/path/to/device of=filename will do the job, sometimes you need to play with blocksizes and that kinda fun stuff, but generally the defaults work out rather well :)
Then just use what ever to burn the resulting image file.

'Fraid not. It just complains
dd: reading '/media/dvd' : Is a directory
Is there some way of making a device look like a file?
/media/dvd sounds suspiciously like a mount point to me... I think you'll be wanting something closer to /dev/dvd or /dev/scd0 or similar... look in /etc/fstab as to what gets mounted to /media/dvd.
