I do this with ALL of my dvds. Burn a copy, play the copy, when/if it
gets scratched, burn another copy. I'm sure the MPAA would like to
think I've stolen billions of dollars from it by doing so.

As for the original question, I'm pretty sure there's not a
straightforward way to do it. For one thing, most menus aren't
straightforward video streams, so transcoding them would result in
nothing usable.
