Actually, dd should work with media, prepared for Video, i.e.
VIDEO_TS/more .vobs :)

If it does not, just create a new .iso with growisofs, but using as a
source the directory structure.

.VRO structure will not play in normal players, but if mplayer plays
it, then it most probably is mpeg2 program stream, and using tools
like dvdauthor you should be able to prepare video dvd from it.
