Any advice?
I did a lot while I was using windows with DivX and several other tools.
In ubuntu I haven't done many yet but I did one the other day with dvd::rip and Avidemux to re-encode to AVI, I'm also plying with re-encoding by command line from section 2 of this guide:

And there's other tools like k3b can RIP a dvd (saw that option earlier while doing another project).
Many people use and recommend handbrake for ripping dvd's but it's not in the repositories and I haven't used it yet.
Here's the home page for it http://handbrake.fr/
If you want it you can add it from it's PPA like this:
Installing handbrake in 9.10
Open a terminal
Applications > Accessories > Terminal
and run these one at a time
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:handbrake-ubuntu/ppa
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk
There's also avidemux
