I've tried it numerous times, and it's never worked for me.
It WILL make an exact copy of the DVD onto the drive (assuming DVD
video, and no ARccOS [1]), it will just be an exact copy of the
*encrypted* movie.
It's never worked for me. I only get a fraction of the disk's
content followed by a lot of read/seek errors.
That tends to indicate that you're using newer ARccOS-protected DVDs.
I have few of these & very many more that are more than 5 years old.
In this case I think you may have some success ripping using a newer
SVN of mplayer (and the newer versions of dvdread dvdlib (??) which
have been patched by the mplayer developers).
