you can use xine to playback dvd backups.
What you could do to make them available in mythvideo is create a new 
filetype (.dvd or whatever) that contains a link to the folder where you 
put your dvd backup.
Create a script that calls xine with the folder as parameter and link 
that to the .dvd files in mythvideo.
