As long as you have some kind of DVD burning software (Roxio, Nero,
RecordNow, etc.), you have everything you need.
Stick the DVD into the computer's drive and browse to it.
There should be a VIDEO_TS folder and possibly an AUDIO_TS folder on the
DVD.
Copy this/these folder(s) to your desktop.
Insert a blank DVD and use your burning software to copy these folders
to the blank DVD.
Burn them as a data disc, not a DVD disc.
That's all you have to do.
