DVD-ripping software?

Any­body know any good DVD-ripping soft­ware for Mac?

I’m sup­posed to rip a few min­utes off a DVD for a client to go on a site in an inte­grated player.

I’ve already seen the var­i­ous ‘how to steal the lat­est stuff from Hollywood’-software, intended for rip­ping com­plete DVDs and burn­ing them to CDs, but they all seem to focus on tak­ing every sin­gle bit — which takes pretty much forever.

I’m look­ing for some way of grab­bing a spe­cific 3-minute part of a DVD, drag it into iMovie (or some­thing along those lines) for trim­ming the bits, do a decent fade or what­ever. After that, it’s export for web using iMovie, Quick­time Pro or what­ever turns out to be the best choice (it should be clear now that I don’t know what the f**k I’m talk­ing about.

Any help would be greatly appre­ci­ated. And as my com­ments aren’t work­ing (and won’t be before I go on vaca­tion — which I won’t be able to until I solve this DVD-problem — I’d be thank­ful for an email.

Update: C.K. Sam­ple, III from the great blog TUAW picks it up. I’m already look­ing into the first answer in the com­ments — and answers seem to be poor­ing in. I wouldn’t be sur­prised if they got more read­ers than me over there ;-) Thanks a lot!

Update II: Prob­lem solved — in a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent ways. Check the post over at TUAW for some excel­lent point­ers to solv­ing your clip-ripping prob­lems.
