Handbrake （Mac/ Windows/Linux）★★★★
Rip DVD folder, DVD image to various video formats without video editing.
HandBrake is an open-source, multiplatform DVD to MPEG-4 converter, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. It can convert VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD (encrypted or unencrypted, but protection methods other than CSS are not supported and must be handled externally with third-party software), and some .VOB and .TS files to video. The outputs formats contain: MP4, MKV, AVI, OGM, AAC, MP3 etc.
It is the best free DVD to video ripper for Mac, but cannot run smoothly on windows. The converted video quality is not as good as shareware makes. There are a few output file formats to choose. And video editing is not supported by handbrake.

DVD Shrink (Windows) ★★★
DVD to DVD/ISO image, cannot convert DVD to video.
DVD Shrink is a software application that allows you to backup your DVD disks. It allows user to select compression level for each video track separately to obtain the desired disc size. The software is capable of producing either an ISO image of the ripped DVD, or a VIDEO_TS folder for further processing, viewing or burning. And it also is capable of directly accessing the Nero burning engine, so if you have Nero installed, you can burn directly from DVD Shrink to make a backup copy of any DVD video disk.
This software cannot convert DVD file to video. So, it is invalid for those who want to put DVD movie onto portable players.

DVD Decrypter (Windows)★★★
DVD to DVD/ISO image, cannot convert DVD to video.
DVD Decrypter is a software application that can create backup disc images of the DVD-Video structure of DVDs. It takes advantage of both the DeCSS Plus and VobDec algorithms for looking up and decrypting the CSS encryption. DVD Decrypter is also multi-angle aware, and capable of removing the Macrovision scrambling key, as well as the region code during the ripping process.
This software does better than Shrink in making backup of encrypted DVD. It also can not convert DVD to Video. And it has been stopped updating now. Version 3.5.4.0 is the final version.
