You can keep using dvdfab. http://www.dvdfab.com/hd-decrypter.htm is free and does a good job of ripping. I tend to rip discs and leave them as-is, but a friend uses hand-brake to re-encode his (after using dvdfab to rip). He typically goes down to 720p quality to save hard drive space while still maintaining good video quality.
