Don't know about ddrescue.
I'm pretty sure that dd can do the job by itself,
but you might need a dvd burning program also.

Use the -skip option of dd to burn to dvds.
Use the -seek option to restore the hard drive.

I've written CDs with cp and read them with tar.
YMMV espcially since were discussing DVDs.
