You can also use iMedia Converter to convert both dvd and video to any video and audio files o Mac OS X. I thinks it's more professional than Handbrake.

HandBrake is very popular, I can see it on many website, this is benefit from free. On the other hand, it is difficult to use for beginner, lack support and weak stability. HandBrake attend technology and ignore user experience. I consider iFunia is better than it, I already gave up HandBrake and used iFunia.
