Anyone recommend a good DVD ripping s/w?

Some reading here may give further insight.

I'm not an expert and don't want to be, but with CSS I believe the baked-in keys can be revoked if they are compromised. That would be another reason for the ripping software 'phoning home'. Or even just to check for updates.
And I did say "DVDs and Blu Rays". Blu Rays don't use CSS, they use AACS, quite different.

How can a DVD player phone home?

No, even if they have internet access, 'phoning home' as discussed in this thread, is not something you should be worrying about imho. :)

As far as I know, DVD players work even if they're not connected to the internet therefore it's "unlikely" they phone home ;)

We are in agreement then. Savour the moment. :)
