to get a DVD disk copied to formats that a DVD play will see them as another DVD disk, you need to 'Rip' to disk.
a DVD is actually made up of both a sound File of the Movie a series of movies (like quick time files, that are the chapters in the movie, to which they will jump when you use the quick forward button) and a few other files such as subtitles, and menu commands, form when the movie starts and you see scene selections, subtitles and other options)
they all are enclosed in one file that looks like and acts like a move. when you copy that with a disk copying program, it just takes that as plane numeric data...
there is also the problem that some movies cover a bigger disk space when expanded out in play mode that they actual disk size is. sort of like they are de-compressed as they play. and that can also depend on the resolution of the TV they play to as the tv's compression software will upscale the image to fit often
so you need a DVD Ripping software to copy the conglomerate of file to your computer, and it will be placed in a folder.. you then need a DVD writing software program that then burns it to disk, in the format that the TV sees not just the computer.
the one I used under High Sierra was "Any DVD Cloner" a commercial program, but it was great. (I am now on Monterey and don't know if it is still available) also smart Converter Pro. warning they are slow, as they are constantly disk accessing the DVD and then ripping and then writing to disk. so a 1 hour mover regularly took 30-45 Minutes under High Sierra, I think that will be far short onMonterey.
having done that. you then need to "Write" that file to a DVD. and that needs a different program, though by now there may be combined programs.
I used Toast, and can highly recommend it. Not cheap but works a treat... and that can also take a long time to write the file from your compute to a DVD in a format that the TV will see... Though again that may be speeded up with newer software versions
