It is so easy! You just enter the DVD and hit the 'rip' button. A couple hours later you've got your DVD on your Mac! Perfect companion for MPlayer. I ripped all my 2 yr old daughter's movies so she can watch her movies without having to open the disk tray. My only wish is to be able to rip to Quicktime or have some kind of educational documentation. The default setting work great, but I would love to learn more about what the different settings do.
