   Handbrake is (very popular) open source video conversion software.  What    
   I doesn't do is actually rip DVDs (hence the other software) but it does    
   seem to keep more of the quality in the conversion than any other    
   product I've tried.   
      
   The documentation is here - https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki   
      
   I'm not really sure *exactly* what it does (I'm increasingly more    
   interested in the content rather than the technology - that's what a    
   career in IT will do to you eventually!).  The crucial thing is that I    
   missed from my original post was that I've not noticed* any problems    
   with the result.
