So I recently got my Hands on an old Panasonic Toughbook (CF 30) that has a DVD player (it is the only device that is capable of reading Dvds that i own) and now I want to digitalise some of the movies I still got laying around. I gave Handbrake a shot, but it didnt work for me, so now I want to know your recommendations for ripping from DVDs. The thing with that Laptop is, that Its about 19 Years old and still runs on 32 bits, so keep that in mind (I'm running Debian 11.7)

Just wanted to follow up since I took a poke at this. Your best bet is still DVD Decrypter, which you can run through Wine. For some reason drive detection fails unless you set the operating environment to Windows NT 4.0, so use Winetricks to make an application-specific override for that. Once you do that you should be able to use it.
