Suggestion #1: dvdrecord

Suggestion #2 (really more pertinent to your second item): dvd::rip

http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/

If you happen to be using Red Hat Linux, there are rpms of it, and all 
its dependencies from freshrpms.net. I make frequent use of dvd::rip 
for "backing up" my DVDs (I might accidentally back up some from 
Blockbuster and Hollywood Video on occasion, too... :)
