Q: “ Ripping DVDs with Kodi? Just wondering if there's an addon that will allow me to rip a dvd to my library with Kodi. It's not all that hard to rip a DVD and put the video on my server, but if I could find an easy to use DVD ripper addon, it would be great to be able to do it from within Kodi (XBMC).”
Kodi has its supported video formats like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.263, MPEG-4 SP and ASP, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264), H.265 (as from Kodi 14) HuffYUV, Indeo, MJPEG, RealVideo, RMVB, Sorenson, WMV, Cinepak, but DVD is not one of them. You need transfer DVD to Kodi accepted files like MKV, and then stream movies to play with Kodi via network. BTW, Pavtube DVDAid is the tool I used to save all my DVD to MKV.
I searched widely, and many guys recommend Pavtube DVD ripping software, it will bring the best audio / video for watching on Kodi.

One of the great things about this DVD to XBMC Kodi file converter is the fact that it can be used to convert multiple files at a time. You can add multiple DVD files to the conversion queue.
Step 2: Select MKV/MP4 as the output format
Click "Output Format" option to reveal the format drop-down list. In the "Format" > "Common Video" column, find "MKV(Matroska) Video (*.mkv)" or "H.264 Video(*.mp4)" or H.264 High Profile Video(*.mp4) and choose it as the output format for using on Kodi (xbmc) and playback on android tablet.
Step 3: Click on "Convert" on the lower right corner to launch the ripping process of DVD to XBMC Kodi. Wait for all the DVD files to be converted.
The two status bars show estimated time about the process. If you plan on walking away from the computer for sleep, tick the "Shut down computer when conversion completed" option. Default is unchecking.
After the conversion complete, simply put the movie from DVD onto XBMC for play back. Enjoy the movie!
