I have used DVD Decrypter [0] (unfortunately Windows-only) to make ISOs from DVDs. All the menus are retained, so I can still access special features (image galleries, character profiles, etc.).

I also hear good things about MakeMKV [1], which apparently allows some sort of lossless ripping of video files (I haven't used it, so I cannot confirm this), although the MKV format does not support menus.

I'll second DVD Decrypter. I archive DVDs with that, then use handbrake to pull all the useful bits (the film and special features, or programs in the case of TV series) for Kodi.
Works via wine although some disks stopped working in recent years with the software at all that is not with wine
