Tons have tried 'main movie only' extract with rippers 'dvddecrypter' etc and no don't ever do it. Always extract the entire movie with MacTheRipper.
Another person made a comment about not being able to remove Subtitles. Although it might be nice if you have a European DVD with 16 subtitles almost all the ones in the USA have maybe 3 to 5 subtitles with each one being say 4MB. So 16MB is hardly any savings when you talking about 4.37GB. Also I think it's good for newbies not to strip out any subtitles (I never recommend) for if you do and you are watching saw a movie and they start speaking a foreign language and no subtitles appear and you wonder why...well that's cuz you removed a subtitle track.
I'm checked out Popcorn and think it's awesome. DVD2ONEX is great if you wish to remove credits but it's not the same as dvdshrink being able to cut off credits at the precise time frame. Some credits are part of the last chapter so that doesn't always work. DVD2ONEX has a nice join feature though say if your stuck with flipper DVD.
As far as legality goes in USA. Until fair use law and DMCA law don't conflict with each other I say go ahead and make personal backups of dvds you own without fear. RIAA wants you to be fearful while having those two conflicting laws on the books.
