Cool I will check it out!
Also, makemkv would be the other one to check out.
The linux version is available for download through their forum: MakeMKV 1.17.6 for Linux is available - www.makemkv.com
It is still being developed despite the dated look of the website.

Cool will do!
Handbrake is a very good utility, used it many times. [Flathub]
MakeMKV is also very good but I mostly used it on the command line so not sure how good the GUI is. [Flathub]
I also used to use Brasero but I think it might not be maintained anymore. [Flathub]
I have startes using Handbreak and the Brasero Ive used for cd projects. Thanks!

Handbrake, mpeg-2 (maybe mpeg-4 but that is a different format, thohgh developed by same group).
Framerate same as source
Audio AC-3 passthrough (not the same as aac, which is apple advanced audio coder, which is NOT used by dvd)
Quality 0 (highest)
I recommend NO filters, seems to really screw up the image and does not help smoothness of motion, and adds strange distortion on diagonals, like metal blinds etc.
Also, for audio, and subtitles, before doing anything to those settings, first click “add all”. Theb make changes. Needs to be done every single " title".
Speaking of titiles, pay CLOSE attention to the duration, and check for repeat and double-length titles, which is annoying. I’m copying some series with copies of episodes, and some “titles” that are the length of the two titles just before it, so I’ve learned to skip those.
The resolution / dimension area can tell you a hint about the content. In my project of copying these dvd, the smaller dimension / resolution indicates deleted scenes, of which there are a LOT, but there is one title that combines all those, so look for stuff like that.
