What am I doing wrong ?????

Want to make a "back-up copy" of my Toyota Prius 2007 NAV version 6.1 DVD.
I purchased box (of 3) of Verbatim DVD-R DL (2-4X) from NewEgg and have a Dell Dimension XPS410 with a TSST (Samsung Dell OEM) in bay 1 and a Plextor 755SA in second bay. I have Roxio Easy Media Creator 9.0 and running MS Windows VISTA. Tried once TSST to Plextor disc-to-disc.... NO GOOD, NAV would not read it. Tried second time using only Plextor, EMC 9.0, to HD and back to Plextor, still NO GOOD

...... after $10 worth of coasters and only ONE DVD left, what is best suggestion? I only want to make one "back-up" DVD of the expen$ive Toyota NAV DVD so I can safely put the real one in our cool, safe, house and use the "duped" DVD in the sun-baked (Florida parking lot outdoors) in the Toyota Prius NAV system in the vehicle.
I don't mean to appear "dumb" but are these NAV DVD's copy-protected ??
I tried to "read" (look) at the content of the original DVD and it would NOT bring up the .bmp's ............... found this strange, or is it a "clue" ??
