I've had good success with dvdrip, though I use it slightly
differently. I'm ripping my dvd's and saving them as .avi's on my file
server for easier watching in myth :)

I have had a couple of occasions where it SEEMS to freeze my
interface, but that wasn't actually the case, it was just so
CPU-hoggish that everything else ground to a halt. I think you can set
the nice level in the gui there somewhere to help with that. I
reommend you go to their site http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ for more
info.
