I'd reach for handbrake. it can handle anything that ffmpeg can and it gives an intuitive GUI. I use it to rip all my DVDs to local MP4 files.
I don't know. Mplayer doesn't get enough love these days from users - it's fantastic software, and it needs more promotion :)

I know, but sometimes life is just too short to faff about.
Compare for example my note from 2007 about using mencoder to rip DVDs for PSP
https://baldric.net/2007/11/04/ripping-dvds-to-a-sony-psp-on-linux/
where I used the command line in a bash script
#!/bin/bash # # script to encode DVD to MPEG4 video for PSP # # $1 = track number, $2 = title # mencoder dvd://$1 -dvd-device /dev/hda -alang en -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of lavf -lavcopts threads=2:aglobal=1:vglobal=1: vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:autoaspect:vbitrate=500:acodec=aac -af volume=10,lavcresample=24000 -vf scale=320:240,harddup -lavfopts format=psp:i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -o $2.mp4
# end of script
to using handbrake where I just select DVD source and then encoder preset and leave it.
