you can also use dvd::rip, which is simple after you use it once.
or if you want to use the command line, the easiest is dvd-backup:
apt-get install dvdbackup
then:
dvdbackup -M -i/dev/dvd -o/mnt/mydrive/movies/
where /dev/dvd is your DVD drive and /mnt/myrdrive/movies is the directory you want a directory for that movie to be created in.
DVD backup leaves you with a VIDEO_TS folder; dvd::rip leaves you with de-CSS'd .vob files. So it's not transcoding it like your solution, but it does only take 20 minutes and the results from either program are viewable in VLC.

@ADM: dvdbackup is a damn good straight-up ripper. Never failed me. Combined with HandBrakeCLI on a linux box and you can almost set up a production line to stamp out video files.

Well I've jsut gotten back into full Dvd backing up craze again, and I've found that dvd:rip works great! Simply back it up first, then transcode to avi with the same program. It can save sessions too, so you don't have to do it in one sitting! Works GREAT. DEVEDE i've foudn works great for bruning those avi files to dvd.

There is also the always venerable Handbrake. It's CLI but easy to understand, just run it with "--help" and you'll be on your way.
My one complaint is that it's multi-threading seems to stop at two cores for the video and one core for the audio, though that may be a limitation of the transcoding going on.

I prefer mplayer and mencoder for ripping and transcoding myself because they are scriptable and fast.
Ripping (Dump the whole movie into one de-CSS'ed VOB file):
mplayer dvd://$TITLE -dvd-device /dev/dvd -v -v -dumpstream -dumpfile out.vob
Transcoding (3 passes):
CACHE=out.vob
OUT=final_output.avi
A_ID=128
A_BITRATE=192
V_BITRATE=1200mencoder "$CACHE" -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=$A_BITRATE:mode=0 -aid $A_ID -af volume=15:sc -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi
mencoder "$CACHE" -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:v4mv:vqmin=2:vbitrate=${V_BITRATE}:vpass=1 -vf pp=de -aid $A_ID -o "/dev/null"
mencoder "$CACHE" -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:v4mv:vqmin=2:vbitrate=${V_BITRATE}:vpass=2 -vf pp=de -aid $A_ID -o "$OUT"
