Ripping DVD's on Ubuntu

Just bought a Netgear ReadyNAS 2110 to store our documents and media, so have been trying to find a way to rip DVD's to it so we can stream DVD's to our BD player (DLNA enabled).

Tried and failed to use the standard DVD rippers in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) - they installed ok, but couldn't seem to rip; kept erroring.

Found this website http://xboxmediaserver.com/2010/06/04/dvd-rip-on-ubuntu-10-04/ - didn't realise DVD playback was disabled default!

Ran the following commands from terminal:

sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

Then fired up dvd::rip again, and it worked first time - now just need to copy it to the NAS and test from the BD player.
