I am looking for a good DVD ripping software for Linux. My problem is I have a DVD that refuses to play on my computer or my raspberry pi media center, but plays perfectly fine on an extremely old DVD player that has no remote. I have all the codecs needed on my laptop and it never reads it correctly. I have gathered from hours of forum searching that my best bet is to just rip a copy of the DVD but after installing hand brake I was still unable to (hand brake had some of the same misinterpretation issues as well it seemed to think there was one three minute track ). I was wondering if any one had any advice or had run into the same issue and found a work around.
in for answers, id like to do the same
MakeMKV has a Linux version IRCC.
Never tried it myself, I run the Windows version of MakeMKV on my PC (gives me at least one reason outside of GTA5 to keep Windows in dualboot)

I have used both the linux and windows version of that program. I can attest that they perform the same and without issue. I would also recommend this program.

Can't vlc do it too?
Too bad DVD ripping software is illegal in my country. (USA) Even for personal backup, it's a violation of the DMCA just to backup media that you purchased if the method circumvents copy protection.
Thanks, I might give that a go, haven't had much luck with handbrake or VLC so far.
I have a few hundred dvds to convert, for backup, convenience, as well as due to the annoyance of sitting through an unskippable anti piracy warning & waiting for slow animated menus. 1st world problems...
Keep in mind that makemkv will give you the content from direct disk access, and dump it into an mkv file. So the files can be large, you may want to convert them before you store them.
I use a combination of makemkv and handbrake to re-encode the source with H265 and the difference in filesilze is over 75% compression. I'm still playing with settings but so far its very similar to the source.
Good luck!

Wait daingit
Going to try MakeMKV in linux
I assume the DVDs are movies. You can use Brasero to create a disk image, as an *.iso file. Use VLC to play the *.iso. It's a good way to create a movie library, without having to hunt down the original DVDs.
I normally use K program.
You can try k9copy
But remember you can dd copy the whole dvd image is you want
