To rip the DVD, use Handbrake.
It's very, very slow and I find that it does not have all the right

Protected discs don't rip well.
I ran it on my maxed out 450 Mhz Sawtooth. Or, was it 500Mhz...not
that 50Mhz would make a difference.
That would be very slow, yes.
No choice whatsoever in the matter since video encoding is entirely
CPU-bound, the solution is to run it on a faster CPU.
Perhaps a two-step...
Rip the DVD as-is first. That takes care of the CSS decoding (done
in the hardware of your DVD drive), and leaves you with a Video_TS
folder.
Then transcode the MPEG2 Video_TS to whatever codec you want. You
can re-nice that job (I use +10) to run in the background so it
basically has no impact on other uses of the Mac. Just let it run
and run.
