cry! go ahead and CRY!
i guess maybe we came down on your dumb little post a little to harshly.
if your question is what is the most common/affective way to rip a dvd9, well, thats like asking windows or linux. in that i mean that the obviously correct answer is windows and insinuating anything else is complete nonsense.
having said that, this is what i do: look to see if the total of the movie is about 5.9Gb or less and/or contains many extra crap you dont want. if so, you can rip it down to dvd5 without re-encoding*. *'re-encoding' is dvd ripping subculture lingo for: i dont have a job and therefore cannot afford the actual disk, but actually do have the time to figure out how to re-encode this $19 dvd. if you believe your time is worth $1 an hour, you'll save LOTS by not re-encoding.
after i do all that self-worth analysis and if i still believe i can rip the 9 to a 5 and not hate myself for letting the grass grow too long and not washing my filthy car, then i use this method:
rip out the major movie vob and ifos, VIDEO_TS and VTS_01_0 files. i use smartripper.
use ifoedit to open the main movie ifo.
use vob edit button to rip out language streams, build a new VIDEO_TS etc. etc., and correct vbu pointers.. whatever they are. (make sure your output is in another directory)
click okay
go make pb&j or slamdance with a fiver n sausuage...
then you have a directory with the main movie and all the correct video crap to make it work.
rename the new directory to VIDEO_TS and throw it into prassi.
lather rinse repeat
my end result is a movie without a menu and extra crapola that youll never watch twice. others enjoy splitting discs, but until they release a dvd player like my laserdisc with an auto flip function, i'll stick with my way.
