First of all, congratulations for this excellent ripping and media serving program, well done! 
Having just finished building my own small Vortexbox I realized that having a DVD reader in place and the freshly introduced DLNA capabilites it could be a nice addition for the box to enable simple DVD ripping into the media library.
Similarly to CD-ripping, we could just insert the DVD and automagically there would be an mkv file of the main movie, x264 encoded with the original soundtrack. Nice! 
I am no Linux guru, but I see a few implementations of the above already, like one here:

To me, this would certainly would be a worthwhile addition, what do you guys think?

Most DVDs are protected you need to use a third party product to convert them to a file that you can put on your VortexBox.

I don't know if there are any on-the-fly decrypters available (such as AnyDVD in Windows) for Linux, but the ones to convert dvds to files available for Ubuntu may just be good enough.

On a serious thought though, the automated dvd ripping capability could increase the popularity and the user base of the vortexbox.
Me thinks!

I have tried all the ripper avalible to Linux. They all work about 60% of the time. There are only a few programs like AnyDVD that actually work on most disks and they don't run on Linux. Also any good DVD ripper will be a paid product not free so there is no way to add it to the ISO.

MakeMKV http://www.makemkv.com/ could maybe be a solution.
Personally i wouldn't mind paying a bit for this feature

I used DVD Decrypter successfully for ripping dvds to isos/movie files many times. Very good piece of kit and it is free.Now that was under Windows. As much as I understand it runs under the Wine emulator in Linux and can also be used from command line for ripping.

I don't know how difficult it would be to implement if possible at all . I would not mind paying for the extra bit either.

makemkv works very well under windows but I'm not sure they have a linux command line version. I think you need xwindows. Also this will definatlly be pay software at some point so you need to enter coftware keeys etc.
