I've been using DVDShrink of quite some time now, and DVDFab Decrypter for the DVD's that DVDShrink is too out of date to rip. I'm ready to move on. I'm not a fan of DVDFab Dercrypter, it's sort of buggy and sometimes its speed gets infinitely slower over the period of ripping. Anyway... what do you use? Does it satisfy your needs?

I would just continue using those programs but with the addition of RipIt4Me. It will locate and work with protected sectors and I have yet to discover a DVD it couldn't break through (which may change as the year marches on but it's a great solution in the interim). Of course, DVDShrink or DVD-Decrypter work perfectly most of the time so I rarely have to make use of RipIt4Me.

I used to use DVDShrink, but it gives poor quality as it transcode video instead of re-encoding it.

I use DVD Decrypter to rip. DVDRebuilder with Procoder to re-encode the movie. (takes 2-4 hours) Then burn with IMGBurn. Quality over Speed.

I don't rip a lot of newer movies. Most movies that I rip go fine through DVDDecrypter. However, I did have some trouble with trying to rip Casino Royale. I did a google search on how other people ripped it, and finally had to use RipIt4Me to do it.

If you're using DVDShrink to spit out regular disc images like ISO, I like InfraRecorder as a good general-purpose burning program. It has the added benefit of being free.
