[lug] DVD ripping advice

[Steve A Hart]

OK...reading all these posts about ripping DVD's I gave it a shot and of 
course failed miserably.  I installed dvd-rip and k9copy onto my 
Ubuntu7.1 system.  Does anyone have a quick "howto" showing step by step 
how to rip and copy a DVD?

I know I'm just missing some simple step to get this to work right.

Thanks

Steve
