I use dvdbackup.  It extracts and decrypts the contents, skipping 
sections of the disc that aren't used.  I use a wrapper script to put it 
back into a .iso file and clean up.  I used to use dd, but it seems some 
discs have errors on sectors that aren't accessed during playback, so a 
tool that ignores those makes for cleaner rips.

I like to keep all the extra features.

At some point, I'm going to rip my whole library to a file server. A 
file server is much cheaper than a nice entertainment cabinet to store them.

I just wish I had a player that interpreted the "do-not-skip" flag on 
content as "auto-skip."
