Can i copy a dvd that has a public domain movie on it?
Can you answer jon's question about printing?:
I Bought a DVD of a movie that is public domain. The case says that "duplication is prohibited" Can i copy just the video part, which is the public domain part and not the DVD menus and other original work off the DVD and sell or distribute it.

Probably not, sorry.
First, you have to know that the movie is in fact in the public domain.
If it was made after 1923, that is extremely unlikely.
Even if was before 1923, it still may be copyrighted.
Not only that, but as you alluded to , even if the movie is public domain, the entire package itself is copyrighted, and IMHO taking any part out of it would constitute creating a derivative work, subject to Fair Use doctrine.
Keep in mind that you don't know if the film, even if in the public domain, has newly copyrighted elements such as cleaning up of scratches and other restoration.
If you really want to know, then simply call the producer. But be prepared to be told the worst.
