I use lsdvd ...

$ lsdvd /dev/cdrom
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/videos/dir/[filename].iso

Works great.

I just wrote a little script to do this tonight. I called it 'ripdvd'. It contains the following:
 
mplayer dvd://1 &
dd if=/dev/dvd of=/video/mythvideo/$1.iso bs=2048 &

I just do 'ripdvd <MOVIE_NAME>'  and it works great. The mplayer part is pretty kludgy, so I tried the lsdvd mentioned above. But I don't seem to have lsdvd in my distro (FC3), so I'll stick with mplayer for now and throw this out there for anyone else that might want to try it.
