Handbrake and it's free
Handbrake for encoding...a sperate program to do the ripping, like Fairmount.
Download and follow the procedure in this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/805573/
It's been stickied at the top of this forum for a couple of years. It really is the best way to automate this procedure. Depending on your Mac's speed, you can end up ripping and encoding 10-15 DVDs a day. It's an amazingly powerful, yet ultimately simple procedure. And it is free.
i just wanna rip it and then use vuze to convert it to apple TV, what program can just rip the audio/video?
Just use handbrake. It will rip and convert all at once. Unless you are doing a big batch of encodes using a separate ripper is pointless. For one offs just use handbrake. Vuze is pointless.
Agreed, I've used Handbrake with little to no issues. Why bother with a 2 step system?

Because of wear-and-tear on your optical drive...
This really killed the superdrive in my old iMac.
I'm really enjoying the one click simplicity of 'Ripit' at the moment:

Seems to work real nice.
Can't disagree with that, add another vote for RipIt.
Are you guys tweaking the settings at all in Handbrake or just using the ATV2 preset? I've tried just the ATV2 preset and it doesn't seem to handle motion very well. There are a ton of different forum threads about this but I've yet to find a solid group of settings.

I was going to make the same point and use the same example. I completely fragged the superdrive on my iMac a few years ago ripping my Star Trek DVDs. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy a cheap external and use the two-step process (MTR and then HandBrake).This really killed the superdrive in my old iMac.
