Modder, programmer, and all around tinkerer. Yes, I’m that New Vegas and Deus Ex guy.
You can also find me over at kbin.run under the same username. Also kbin.social if it ever comes back from the dead.
Though not a CEO, I’d say Don Mattrick made even dumber decisions than Ballmer. When asked flat out saying that if active duty military can’t use the new always online console they can use the last gen console or get fucked was… a choice.
Just wanted to follow up since I took a poke at this. Your best bet is still DVD Decrypter, which you can run through Wine. For some reason drive detection fails unless you set the operating environment to Windows NT 4.0, so use Winetricks to make an application-specific override for that. Once you do that you should be able to use it.
Try installing libdvdcss or libdvdcss2. That may make Handbrake work correctly.
Past that, VLC also supports pulling content from DVDs, though it again uses libdvdcss. MakeMKV is probably the easiest option to use, though it will only extract the video/audio content and won’t preserve menus and the like.
Quite honestly though this is one of the things where the bulk of the best tools are Windows-based. The original DVD Decrypter is still rock solid for most DVDs, and anything it can’t handle you can usually get with DVDFab HD Decrypter or AnyDVD. All of those have pretty bare bones minimum system requirements, so your laptop should be able to run 'em. Whether you can do it via Wine/etc. or need to use a Windows VM I can’t tell you, but that’d be where I’d go.
Don’t say that on XDA. Half the people there will say you don’t actually need root to do what you want and the other half will demand you justify why you specifically need root before they even entertain the idea that having full privileges on your own fucking hardware is a valid desire.

You will be missed, ICQ. When no other messaging service worked, you always did.
It wasn’t just the one offhand comment. His entire attitude was “always online and a mandatory camera attached to your device are just how it is, loaning games is gone forever, and you’re stupid for even questioning any of it.” His decisions singlehandedly tanked the popularity of the Xbox brand so hard they’re still feeling the effects one whole console generation later.
