If you want customized editing options, you can rip DVD to iPad or convert DVD to MP4 on Mac or Windows using paid software.
I'd like to recommend you some freeware like handbrake, makemkv, dvdfab hd decrypter. But if you DVDs are copy protected, you'll need to try some paid tools like DVDFab DVD Ripper, WinX DVD Ripper. Here's also an article about how to copy protected DVD for your reference.
Handbrake would be the easiest. For commercial DVDs, you just need to add libdvdcss-2.dll in your Handbrake install directory and it will bypass the copy protection.
For the container I'd suggest going with MKV. For the video codec you can go with x265 (HEVC) with a CRF/RF of 22, which should give you a good balance between quality and size. For the audio you can copy it as-is.
Would that work for Blu-ray? I'm guessing not.
i use makeMKV rip the full Blu-ray file, then I use handbrake to compress it.
You'll need some other libraries (libaacs, libbdplus) to be added to your Handbrake install directory to strip AACS but yeah it's doable.
Perhaps Handbrake.
But if you do care about the quality, then you should just download those movies in higher quality than DVD. Like this you're just getting 480p/576p with visible compression artifacts at the same file size.
