DVDs are really trivial.
BluRays are more interesting because it's newer and less trivial encryption
and a format that's meant to be updated to keep ahead of pirates. The end result
is that the people working on this stuff expect to get paid.
With a DVD, you generally don't need anything more than mplayer.
If you don't like the idea of manually futzing with Handbrake, you can just
drop the options of your choice into a script. The Handbrake GUI might even help
you with that.
