There is no doubt that Decrypter and Shrink are the power apps of choice when it comes to ripping/encoding, so I'm not even coming close to saying that this suggestion is in that realm. HOWEVER, there is a sweet all-in-one app called DVDx that is a little clunky at first to get the hang of, but is awesome in it's ease of use as an all-in-one app. Not sure, but I think it might even be built out of the others apps. Another nice thing is that you don't have to decypt a copy to your HD, you can just rip straight from the DVD, which is nice if you don't have the extra gigs around.
