Unrelated: What are people using nowadays to rip DVDs in Linux? I'm getting sick of holding on to my old DVD collection. The last time I looked into this was over a decade ago and there was still some debate over which codec and container was the best. I don't even have a DVD drive now, so I'll have to buy one just to be able to rip them. Maybe it's better to just find them on BT...
I always had good success with MakeMKV (http://www.makemkv.com), but it's only available on Windows and Mac. I'd then use Handbrake to convert into a more accessible format (maybe shoot for H265?).
