6Gb from 4.7G DVD

I have a DVD (+RW) I've recorded on a home DVD recorder (Bush DVHRS02 combi DVD recorder-VCR).

I want to make a copy of it using my PC so I copy the filesystem to PC HDD in order to burn onto a new DVD. However it's occupying approx 6G on the HDD! It's definitely from a 4.7G DVD+RW.

I am running RH 7 Linux on a Dell Labreastude CsX laptop. I do intend to upgrade...

The VTS02* files would see to be duplicates of VTS01* (I diffed the first of each 1G files), though just omitting these from the copy DVD results in something the machine won't play.

I'm curious how the original c. 3G-worth of data on the DVD looks like 6G worth to the Linux filesystem: oresumably this is a function of how the recorder writes the filesystem's index files (mount shows the DVD mounted as type 'udf' whatever that is).

Also I'd be interested to know how I can copy-backup DVDs (under Linux, Kubuntu).
