I use Handbrake, it's an excellent open source app that works in Linux, Windows and MacOSX. You have lots of control over the final result, you can set the output quality by desired filesize, bitrate or quality. There's also a bunch of predefined profiles for ripping for different devices (iPhone, PSP etc). The only problem you might have is it can't decrypt the DVDs for you, you'll need to use DVDDecrypter or something like that.
