I'd third (or fourth etc etc) Handbrake - works for me. Has many many
output options and can queue jobs to allow multiple episodes to be
ripped from the same disk in a batch (for example)
Alternatively, there's also ogmrip, which I like as well and used to
use when I was having issues with Handbrake (random segfaults a while
back)
