I have studied all those sites, and so far completely failed to find anything I would want to watch. (Mind, I'm very picky what I watch )

I have some dvds (some not even DRMed!) that I'd be glad to rip... but I haven't yet worked out how. Last time I asked I got directed to something that required a pile of dependencies I didn't know how to d/l or even install. I really am a bear of very little brain! Anyone care to suggest how to rip a few good dvds?
