You can copy an unprotected DVD with Disk Utility -- no need for Handbrake and Toast. Simply open Disk Utility, highlight the DVD in the left-hand sidebar, then click "New Image." Choose "DVD/CD Master" as the type and click OK.
Let Disk Utility make the disk image, then when it's finished, the image itself should appear in Disk Utility's left-hand sidebar. Insert a blank DVD-R/RW, highlight the image in the left-hand sidebar, then click "Burn."
Note: This will not work on commercial, copy-protected DVDs. Copying those kinds of a DVDs is illegal in the United States (I'm not here to argue morals or rights -- just stating facts) because you have to circumvent the copy protection on the DVD, which is prohibited by the DMCA. Some will argue that copying a DVD for backup purposes is "fair use," but the DMCA doesn't provide for a legal way to circumvent copy protection -- even in cases of "fair use."
Google "MacTheRipper" for a solution to the aforementioned problem.

You would use MacTheRipper to create the disk image, then use Disk Utility to burn that image.
If you want help beyond that, you'll have to find it on a different forum. Lots of forums openly discuss illegal activities such as that -- this, unfortunately, is not one of them. It's not personal or moral or anything -- it's just the rules of the board.
