That won't work unless the DVD is not encrypted. ;)


To just rip (i.e., make a copy without encryption), you can use 
dvdbackup. It also allows you to copy just one chapter (aka movie 
without menus/extras).

If you want to reenconde (DVD9 -> DVD5 or DVD -> divx/xvid/whatever), 
you'll need something else. You have all the tools available (mencoder, 
transcode among others), but I don't know of any  non-graphical frontend 
for them.

In the graphical side, the best one I saw was DVD::RIP (perl gtk 
frontend for transcode and company).

Cheers,
Fed.
