Eugene- I'd suggest you stop by http://www.doom9.net/ . They are the primer source of information for this kind of thing. I think all their downloads are for windows, though many have linux/mac versions if you look for them. More importantly if you go to "The Basics" they've got plenty of tutorials and basic information on how to get started.
You might also try http://handbrake.fr/ which does ripping (but not protection cracking) for basically all platforms. Basically all you really need to worry about is cracking/ripping the DVD. Once that is done you'll have raw video files you can manipulate with any run of the mill video editing software.
