DVD is only marginally better, it’s digital already so you can only rip at full quality. MakeMKV is good for ripping direct from a DVD, then Handbrake for converting to MP4.
echoing this, and noting the weirdness about MakeMKV making you download regularly but apparently no way I can find to buy a licence.
If you feel lazy, I've also used [Macdvdripper](https://www.macdvdripperpro.com) in the past, for a one-stop bit of software (but not free). It lets you poke around and be sure you're selecting the right file, as DVDs tend to be full of weird configurations once you look at the way they've put it together behind the menus.
It also offers to upscale to HD using AI, so that'll be fun as people grow extra fingers etc. (tbf it might do a pretty good job, depending on what it's working with).
