Simple DVD ripping software?

I made this thread in the A/V forums: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=67&threadid=2326986 but basically I want my parents to be able to rip DVDs and add them to the WHS storage. Either the DVD drive would be on a client and WHS could find the files and move them over, or the DVD dive would be on the WHS box.

Basically, I'm hoping there is a DVD ripping program out there that can work simple enough so that my parents can use it after I set the correct settings.
 
DVD Decrypter + RipIt4Me. DVD Decrypter acts as the background engine, while RipIt4Me has support for the latest encryption methods on DVD movies. So, first install DVD Decrypter, then run RiptIt4Me (no install required, but you can make a folder in C:\Programs for it and use a shortcut if you'd like, to make it easier for your parents). There's a 1-Click interface, just use "Full Movie" to ISO, then drop the ISO on the server.

I use FreeNAS & Plex (an XBMC offshoot for Mac) this way. It's stellar. I have small children over all the time, so my DVDs get used as frisbees or chewtoys if they're lying around in reaching distance, plus it's really nice to put on something like Sesame Street instantly for my little niece and not have to go dig it out.
 
do they really want to?
it would be easier to teach them to rip and copy a dvd.
all that home server stuff...is great until you have to trouble shoot when something goes wrong.
