Unhappy Ubuntu 10.04 rip commercial dvds


I am wanting to take dvds that I have bought and put them on my droid phone. I have been using windows XP for this but my windows machine took a dive a few weeks ago and I am struggling getting it going and I am trying to make Linux work. On my dell laptop inspiron 6000 I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I am loving it so far but I am jot able to get any of my commercial DVD to rip. I know that it has to do with the copyrights but is there a way for me to rip a DVD and then convert it. I have virtualbox on the system and I am not against using another OS. I have tried to install windows 98 and XP (2different disk) and I have not been able to get it. I have tried k9copy, acidrip, DVD::rip, kino and pitivi video editor and I have not been able to get any of them to work. I have also tried several different DVDs. I am not an expert in any of these software's. I am a newbee with all of them. Help please. I am even willing to by software if I have to. I have also tried to get my wintv pvr usb2 video capture device to work under Ubuntu but I am have tried several times over the past several years to get it work but the walkthrough I have been finding have not workedm. My system does not do what they say its supposed to or I don't understand the walkthroughs. I would be very happy if anyone could any of the above options working. I don't care which one. Thank you very much.

PS I would even consider paying some to log into my computer and get it setup if there is a person or company that does that with Ubuntu.

Sounds like you need the files necessary to decrypt the DVD's for those programs to work.

Handbrake Encoder for 10.04 is in snapshot at this time.
