I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I do have an 
alternative if you run into a dead end.  I've recently been exploring 
different packages alleged to do different things with DVD video, but I 
always seemed to hit a roadblock.  (The most recent was a bug in 
transcode that broke dvd::rip.)  Then I saw in a forum somewhere someone 
recommended dvdshrink (a Windows app) running under wine.  I figured 
what the hell, nothing has worked well yet, so why not...  I downloaded 
the latest wine rpm for FC4 from winehq, then grabbed the latest 
dvdshrink, and installed both.  Unbelievable.  I was stunned.  It worked 
the VERY first time without a single hitch.

HTH,
