Just thought you might want to know why "MythDVD/Rip" doesn't work on
some of the latest movies.

But, uhm, if libdvdcss fails, doesn't that affect playback as well as
ripping? If not, how so?
Do you have a link or two to the story? What did you search for?
Is this just the new Macrovision RipGuard protection you are talking
about? Link:

This is not a "new encryption" system. They would not be able to
change encryption algorithms otherwise all existing players would stop
working.
There is a new Sony encryption. It started around The Forgotten movie
release, I think there was one movie right before that. It has been
cracked on the Windows platform already. Don't know anything about
Linux. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/154963
This is NOT a new encryption system either. This is yet another way of
producing corrupt discs that just happen to play on most consumer DVD
players but break ripping software.
