> Where do I find dvdbackup and lxdvdrip?
Actually the author just distributes it as a .c source file with no
build system, which is kind of annoying, so the easiest way to install
it is probably through your distribution's package manager (apt-get
install dvdbackup, emerge dvdbackup, etc...), or, failing that, grab
the source from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dvdbackup/ and apply the
debian patch to build it. Or you can just dig through the readme and
find the appropriate flags to pass gcc by hand.

Well, dvdbackup doesn't do any reencoding - it just recreates all or
part of the dvd's filesystem on your HD, so you can reburn that
directly. If you want to do things like letterbox, unletterbox,
change bitrates, etc, you need an application to decode and reencode
the video in whatever way you choose. And those tools are what I use
to do so.
