How can you create an image of a dvd that is bootable? And by that I mean create an image which will let you burn a new dvd which is also bootable.
What application should you use? And what actually makes the dvd bootable?

Daemon Tools and Imgburn have an option to create iso. Or if you have Nero installed, you can copy the disc to NRG image and then convert it to ISO using the light application Any To Iso. This method is easier if you have Nero installed already.
This explains what makes a CD/DVD bootable

The image will carry the ability to be boot-able.
All you need is to get the image out with some tool.
You could then burn the image to a blank DVD.
ImgBurn will let you do these things.
This gets complicated if the source DVD is DRM protected.

ImgBurn should do it. I'm not sure what makes a DVD bootable though - presumably some kind of flag? It's something that's part of the data/image, not something physical on the DVD.

LC ISO Creator is very small, lightweight, free and portable!

It's very simple:
Tools and then Make CD/DVD/BD Image File... 
.iso or the format you want to make the image 
Save

NOTE : for making an image bootable you have to use BOOT.IMA .this file will make an iso image bootable and can be done through POWER ISO. – vijay dewani – 2012-11-09T04:40:07.243

I think you can just copy straight to iso, with nero. – Noam Gal – 2009-08-10T10:36:45.360
