[mythtv-users] DVD Ripping ?

(It was me who made the original request...)

One file, or a VIDEO_TS folder would be fine. Either way, the ability to 
seamlessly copy DVDs to the hard drive, and be able to later call them up 
for viewing, is what I want.

I may also want the ability to compress (Mpeg-4 ?) the video. Is it 
possible to keep the DVD menus and such, but have the video format 
different than Mpeg-2 ? Another nice feature would be to be able to strip 
out unwanted audio tracks, but keep the menus.

As recording TV is a secondary need at this point, I am beginning to 
wonder 
if there might be a better software solution for what I want to do with 
DVDs.
