The transcoding program controls the quality of the video assuming that any compression is required in the first place. Many around here use just AnyDVD and DVD Shrink for ripping. Some use AnyDVD, DVD Decrypter, and DVD Shrink. Many use DVD Decrypter as their burning program either as a standalone or in combination with DVD Shrink. Others use Nero for burning. Some use CloneDVD and others. For DL media burning, we'd recommend using DVD Decrypter along with AnyDVD for ripping and burning.

In short, the following three programs will serve nearly all your needs and only one, AnyDVD, is not free (has free trial though):

AnyDVD available at http://www.slysoft.com
DVD Shrink available at http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_...
DVD Decrypter available at http://mrbass.org/dvdrip/
