What program should I use to rip discs I own?

[thorsong]

I want to make digital copies of my movies. Don't know what would be the best to use. I know Linus has mentioned before what he uses for his Plex server, I don't remember what it was. 

Suggestions?

Make MKV, It works really well and I think it's still free.

I've used Handbrake, just make sure it's a clean copy and not an old janky one. If it doesn't have the codec it needs to strip encryption it should prompt you where to download it.

I thought this was going to be about audio CDs... well if anyone cares, my answer would have been Exact Audio Copy.

MakeMKV works pretty well.

Makemkv is your best option to make a decent lossless source file. Then re encode down with handbrake.(optional)

But these programs both have limitations like makemkv will require you to purchase a licence for ripping blu rays and Handbrake on windows doesnt support AAC.

But hasnt been reliable this year with updating there decryption. I heard recently their site has gone down a second time. But all that aside its a great application.

It is down. I use handbrake to repack files already and it is a great program. Anyone heard of anything else that works for ripping movies? I don't have a blueray drive, so these are all DVD's that I don't have copies of in any other format.

A lot of people seem to use Handbrake. I'm not really too into DVD ripping but I've used Handbrake once or twice in the past.
