Best Automated DVD Ripper?

[jmine83]

I need a recommendation on the best available DVD ripper software for the Mac that can automate the process as much as possible. Specifically, I have a bunch of DVDs with TV Show episodes on them that I'm wanting to convert to the iTunes M4V video format. Brief past experience in this matter from many years ago has taught me that most software (that I remember trying anyways) can not "automatically" separate the DVD video into the appropriate "episode files"; i.e. I remember having to manually scan through the final converted file and manually divide the file into episode files. If there is a program that can automatically perform the episode files for me, that would be highly preferable.

HandBrake can do that, as it allows you to select the "Title" (in your case the episode) you want to rip.

I've tried to use different DVD rippers, but like others have said handbrake is the best. It just works, the others have all these presets and they're a mess. Plus not a penny out of pocket--- still works great with Mountain Lion.
