Since you say “rip” and mention transcode, I assume you’re talking about a
video DVD. If you want a 1:1 copy (leaving the copy protection in place),
just dd or ddrescue the disk into an ISO. To get an unecrypted copy of the
file structure, vobcopy is your guy. If you want a specific video title,
then makemkv is the way to go these days.

Yes, vlc and mpv can play an ISO directly.
