You are missing an important step, namely removing the encryption that
is put on almost all commercial DVDs.  In the United States, it is
legal for you to make a backup of a DVD you purchased yourself,
however it's illegal to distribute or sell software that includes the
DeCSS code necessary to do so.  There are ways to do it under Linux,
however from what I've seen there's not really an easy-to-use single
piece of software for backing up your DVDs.

You need a "DeCSS" program to remove that encryption first.  I'm sure
some of the wiser members of this list could point you in the right
direction.
