Assuming you have a DVD drive that allows you to read the video files as
data, VLC is probably the best for this.

There is also MacTheRipper, but AFIAK it was abandoned, as in no longer
maintained. You can find the files around, but I have no idea if it will
run on your current Mac.

The people that sell Toast sell a program called Popcorn.

If your drive does not read DVD files as data, which are some early
Intel Mac drives, then I don't think there is anything that will do it.

Not necessarily. Finder/Go/Go to Folder and then choose /Volumes. I
think that should work, but personally, yeah, I'd do it from the
terminal:

cd /Volumes/[whatever]/
cp VIDEO_TS ~/Desktop

should do it.

I see you got Handbrake to work. I can't argue with Handbrake.

A point of curiousity, since you've apparently solved your problem:
Will MTR willing to rip the thing--does it recognize the content of
this disc?

No. Version 2.6, which was free, is abandoned. Probably still runs, but
may not rip latest DVDs.

Version 3 had a complicated process toget, because of legal issues.

Version 4 is still quite complicated, but not as bad. In particular
upgrades, when available, can be obtained automatically.
