.dvdmedia is native to Mac OS and is actually a Video_TS folder. Very limited. Will only play on the Mac. Will not even plan on iPad, iPhone, etc. Technically you could stream it to an Apple TV but that is about it. I don't use RipIt but I believe you can change the file setting. Probably defaulting to .dvdmedia for Mac.
Speaking of ripit, I'm late to the discussion, but sure the copyright concerns have already been discussed.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
