How to rip a dvd (probably also works with cds, etc) on gnu/linux (probably also works on other *nix systems such as macos and openbsd)
-
Plug in the dvd
-
Run
lsblk
to see if it got detected -
Run
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=dvd.dvd status=progress
-
You can now play the ripped dvd using mpv:
mpv dvd://0/dvd.dvd
If you need to get rid of digital restrictions management, you can try this guide

Yeah, an already ripped DVD or a non DRM protected DVD, which is as difficult as copying files from a USB and why dd works here.
non DRM protected DVD. It's actually from Disney so I was quite surprised when there was no DRM
If it’s Disney without DRM it’s probably a bootleg DVD
