Yep, HandBrake is supposed to be the first choice for many people, but you know what, it won't defeat or circumvent copy protection of any kind. Namely, it cannot deal with DRM-ed commercial DVDs. But if you have a library of homemade or burned DVDs, it would be an excellent choice to convert DVDs to WebM since HandBrake supports encoding to WebM container format starting from v1.3.0. So it's better to update your HandBrake to the latest version before we go ahead.
