Rather use DVDDecrypter and Handbrake. It is by far the best way to get lossless quality mpeg versions of dvds.
That or just download BDVDRips of the things you want. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, it may actually be faster. (A decent PC with DVDDecrypter + Handbrake will take around 3 hours per DVD for 3 passes)

just a thought but it's easier just to download a DVDrip than fiddle with settings and then copy each dvd one by one.
but if you wanna take the long route also make sure you ripping to a decent format like mkv or something, saves you on size but you keep the quality, but do more than 2 passes also, the higher the bits the better the quality but the more size it take up and the longer it takes to rip.
But if you want to back up your dvd collection you want to keep the quality so take your time and do it right.

What version of Linux are you using? Handbrake has worked well for me for a couple of years now. Set it to "high profile" and rip, no need to fiddle with settings.

Ripped my collection using Handbrake – it works well. A few comments:
- Make sure that you have the a/v codecs installed. On Ubuntu these are referred to as the restricted extras.-
On Linux you should not need DVDDecrypter, just rip the disc directly using Handbrake.
- Turn on the decomb feature in the picture settings. This will handle the de-interlacing, but only acts when it is actually needed. You might as well have it turned on for all rips.
- Make sure to pick an audio bitrate that you are happy with to avoid having to rip again to a higher quality. The standard bitrate is on the low side (at least for my taste).
- You can store the above preferences as a new profile that you simply select for each new rip.
- There are both CLI and command line versions of Handbrake. Did you possibly install the CLI version?

ubuntu precise 12.04.
Code:
sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtkIf it's not in the repos add the handbrake PPA,
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtkawesome thanks ponder! you are always so clever with the linux stuff. finished installing, going to try and get it working now. will give you guys feedback.

I've never had issues with Handbrake before. Have you got all the dvd libraries installed including libdvdcss? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
ok so i now the start button is not greyed out, i click on start then i get a message "put down that cocktails, your queue is done", then nothing happens?
