I don't care for r4m, but the ripper I trust most is DVD Decrypter. I use DVDD with AnyDVD, then run PGC Edit and FixVTS, if necessary. I've never had any doubt about things with Decrypter (make sure to "detect mastering errors" in CSS options). It's still the most reliable ripping tool. I trust it more to give me a perfect rip.
DVDFab and AnyDVD have occasionallly let me down. Decrypter seems faster than AnyDVD's new ripper too. I stopped using DVDFab a while, because it messed up one of my movies. Luckily, I hadn't burned yet. Usually, I check my back-ups to make sure everything's right. But I have more trust in DVD Decrypter to do it right on the first attempt.
AnyDVD still has a bug with the "CSS key archive." Sometimes movies are not decrypted properly when you load them later. I've duplicated this problem on many occasions. Just load and unload a DVD several times with the "CSS key archive" on. Open with Shrink. Within a minute, you will have a garbled green mess in Shrink. This is a known issue, and they advise you to disable the CSS key archive. Not a huge problem, but still annoying. Why don't these features work 100%? I've never had AnyDVD fail to decrypt a DVD unless "use CSS key archive" was enabled. That seems easily fixable.
