Well I don't want to give advices on how to rip DVD's, because even if it is your own DVD's and you just want to watch the content yourself, and not share it on the web, it could be be illegal in some countries, like the US, because they have laws making it illegal to decrypt or work around copy-protection schemes. No-one has been put in jail for ripping their own DVD's, but still, some people like the DeCSS author got in hot water.
There are some excellent tools like SmartRipper that are very easy to use and that extract the vob files from a DVD completely automatically.
The Demultiplexing of the .vob files is done by DGIndex. In fact, DGIndex generates an index file that tells the encoder where the frames are located in the file, and it extracts and convert the AAC audio into WAV, a format the tMPGEnc can use. I don't think it is necessary to install AVISynth to do what I described, but I did install it, too.
