other dvd ripping tools/commands

hey all,

I'm just tossing this out there, and I will totally back away carefully and slowly if @ablwr gives me a "sounds great! have fun! take care of it!," but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts/ideas about adding some non-FFmpeg dvd ripping tools/commands, similar to what @privatezero has done with cdrtools. I guess I'm specifically thinking about stuff like HandbrakeCLI, VLC CLI, Mplayer/MEncoder, FFmpeg's dvd2concat, etc.

Does anyone have any super solid workflows that don't require you to investigate/make decisions about what's going on in the VOB-zone? I personally don't, and when pressed, I've done clunky stuff like: create an ISO, use MakeMKV, then transcode to MP4. I also recognize that diff aspect ratios, specs, etc. could make this sort of thing difficult in general.

Thanks!

Ben
