I almost always use MakeMKV to rip and handbrake to a manageable size for storage.

MakeMKV can also create an ISO so yoou can store the ISO for ripping later.

I haven't installed MakeMKV in a while but the last time I did it was upto date. Looking at https://makemkv.com/download it looks like the lastest version is dated April 5, 2025.
