I say start with MacTheRipper 2.6.6.
It's the last free version, and there's not convolution required. IF that doesn't work, then think about jumping through some hoops.
davemachine is spot on about the legality. But it's widely held that this conflicts with the fair use doctrine establish as a result of Sony's fight with movie studios years ago. This is the standard applied to CDs.
Many people use MTR to rip DVDs they own for making archive copies or putting the content on other devices. There's been no legal test that I know of, but sticking with content you own for personal use should keep your conscience clean.
