VLC failure

[69Rixter]

Lately, I've tried to use VLC to rip a rather lengthy DVD (just under 3 hrs.)and in doing so, the audio/video is not synced. Is there a remedy to this? Can you recommend a good, open-source "ripper" that encodes mp4-hevc x265? Lastly, is there a ripper that does this in a reasonable amount of time? VLC and PRISM take about the same amount of time as the length of the movie.
THANX:

If the DVD is not copy protected, you can use clever FFmpeg-GUI.

"Ripping" means "reading from an optical disc to the harddisk". That does not include a video conversion yet.

One of the most advanced DVD rippers nowadays is makeMKV which is able to read the main movie PGC of a DVD Video to a continuous MKV file without recompression, so you can use any converter of your choice on that file later. Even VirtualDub2 may be sufficient. Or Handbrake. Or ... whatever you find easy to use.

Just don't convert directly from a DVD. This can stress the drive more than reading the content once. It can be a waste of time because it may sometimes need to seek anew. And the logical structure which spreads the main movie across several VOB files may not be bound to the linear content of the VOB files, it may require some separation and selection of parts of such files. Read the main movie PGC once with a specialised ripper. Then convert the intermediate result from your harddisk.
