install dvdrip and transcode and all necessary dependencies, which is fairly easy to check as dvdrip has a built in dependencies checker. in my opinion by far the best tool for Linux. i have also had success with acidrip, k9copy, rip-o-matic and even dvdshrink with wine installed but the latter one requires you to understand wine to a degree so you can set the parameters for the working directories properly. but once you have that right it works pretty much the same as in windoze. if you install mscore fonts first it even looks great too! if you use ubuntu (and you are) or mepis you can install automatix2 which makes it easy to install a lot of useful apps including dvdrip. just google for it. i am sure you'll love it.

that other problem with your drive not opening could be many reasons, try another thread like hardware.
