Rather than rip with Handbrake, I'd try with MakeMKV.  I use that in Windows, and it works fairly well.  It has a Linux version too.  It looks like there isn't a download link for the Linux version on their main site - it says there's a thread on their forum site where you can download the Linux version:

I only use Handbrake for transcoding; I've never actually ripped with Handbrake.
