I want to create an iso image from my bootable DVD. I want to create direct DVD to iso image. Please suggest me the right way to create iso image from DVD.

Insert the CD or DVD that you want to make an ISO image of, and open a terminal window. To do that, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo cat /dev/srx > /home/<user_name>/<file_name.iso>
Make sure that you replace (x) with your device number.
for example in my case I would do:
sudo cat /dev/sr0 > /home/mitch/example.iso

2Mitch's comment using the terminal is also good in the case of trying to copy a home-made DVD which has invalid characters in the file name or title. I recently couldn't get Brasero to make an ISO of a DVD with slashes in the name (the DIY idiot used slashes to date the title - probably worked in Windows!). But at the terminal I could specify a new name and it all worked ok. Nov 20, 2013 at 18:41

Either use Brasero, like Mohammad Etemaddar suggested, or dd, as described here: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-ISO-File-in-Linux
The method which is described in WikiHow: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso
if: input file
of: output file
dd: disk dump
Another very good description on making ISO image has been written here.

3I'd rather use a designated tool like
dd
than piping all data as suggested in accepted answer. +1! For dd you can appendstatus=progress
for feedback about … well… progress :)– nualaJul 19, 2019 at 15:51
In Brasero Disk Burner
which is installed on Ubuntu by default, select Disc Copy
and select Disk image
for Select a Disk to write to
and create image.
