I want to rip a DVD and store it in a good and compressed format.
What software to use for that and what is the best format; I want best quality and low file size.
+1 if I don't have to install any new software (at least those not in the repos)
+1 if it can be done on command line

I would highly recommend Handbrake.
It runs on Windows, Linux and MacOSX. You can also use it from command line if I recall.
It also makes use of ffMpeg. I use this for all my ripping and once you know what settings to use you can easily save it as a preset, pop in the disc and forget about it until it's done.
