1Don't use avi container, use MKV or OGM. – Šimon Tóth May 28 '11 at 11:07

@Tshepang For one, you can actually replicate the DVDs functionality 1:1 with MKV and OGM containers (that's not possible with avi). – Šimon Tóth May 28 '11 at 19:42

@Let_Me_Be: someone said [you can't do menus](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5464/how-to-re-encode-a-dvd-into-a-single-file/5476#5476). – tshepang May 29 '11 at 13:08

I've become a very avid fan of handbrake - which comes in windows and linux flavors, with or without GUI - mostly because when I rip DVDs it's generally to load the movies onto my iPad, and handbrake comes with a set of presets for exactly that purpose, but it supports pretty much every format known to it or the underlying transcode layer.

Take a look at OGMRip for a very intuitive GUI utility.
I always got rips I was happy with when using OGMRip.

@fred - It's a really nice feature of this program. You can go with one of a variety of profiles or tinker around. I tended to use .mkv containers with x264/AAC inside. Seemed to work very well. – boehj May 28 '11 at 13:25

Personally, I love Acidrip. It shows the final command that does the action - Nice to learn and to know what's going-on at the backend.
In case of Ubuntu, its available in the repo as well (not sure about fedora)
apt-get install acidrip
