That's a very long long long way.

Personally wouldn't bother. DVD is shit tier quality. Just download the latest 1080p copy of it. Less space more than likely.

Don't expect old porn videos copied to DVD to look any better

DVD ripping is a chore at best
aint done it or had a DVD/Blueray for years

I've downloaded and collected nearly 4TB of movies and tv shows over the years
which is proving to be handy in these not allowed out to play times.
some as old as Nosferatu (1922) and Metropolis (1927) from the usual places.
Of course, these films & TV shows were transferred to digital format by someone prior to my getting them

I have a great 1080p copy of The Seven Samurai (1957?)
and other classic movies.
Going down market, some are of dubious quality
I have Callan (1967-72) , Blakes seven (1978-81) and Lovejoy (90's)
The very old ones are often say 480p ish cos crap video rips but still enjoyable in a nostalgic, dodgy colour, blurry way nonetheless.

If you have home movies transferred from 8/16mm film to DVD in the 90s
then ripping is probably your only option, otherwise you'd be surprised what you can find.

I'm still looking for "Psycho Biker sluts from Hell"(1999) in 1080p or better
Apparently one of the bikes has an interestingly modified tail pipe that I'd
like to see in slo-mo detail for research purposes

Do you want the title feature only or the dvd as is?

As mentioned, get yourself a copy of a Bitttorrent client https://www.qbittorrent.org and use either https://rarbg.to/torrents.php or https://thepiratebay.org to get the torrent/magnet files.

You'll likely need a VPN to access either - Digibit https://digibitdesign.com/vpn/ is pretty good - costs £2.50 a month and speeds are really fast (used to use Private Internet Access and their speeds were shockingly slow). Been using them for about a year no with no issues at all.

Another vote for Handbrake. You can use a GPU to speed up encoding too.

Oh, that handbrake looks good. I have a load of DVD's as well and I don't understand torrents and things like that so I'll give that a try.

Torrents aren't to bad, even I can understand them.

You have to download mu torrent first. Then to download something you just click on the magnet icon.
