Quickest and easiest way to rip a DVD straight to .iso

I'm looking for the quickest and easiest way to rip a DVD straight to .iso
Preferably something with a UI for my small brain, but if there is none then anything will work really
I already have libdvdcss and can play the DVD in SMPlayer, so I know there's no problem reading it.
I should mention I've tried Brasero but I get the message "The data size is too large for the disc even with the overburn option."
It wants to rip the .iso straight to my home but I don't have room there. If I could rip it to my second drive then there would be enough room, but there doesn't seem to be an option for that...?
If K9Copy can't do it, I don't know what will do it under GNU/Linux. You'll need AnyDVD for some encrypted disks.

Dual layer DVDs need dual layer DL writable disks. An ISO can be any size over 4.7 GB and I don't know why Brasero would have a restriction.
The ISO is the bit for bit data on the disk. 'dd' applies:
$ dd if=/dev/sr0 of=dvd.iso
"The ISO is the bit for bit data on the disk"
Not exactly. It's supposed to be an ISO 9660 file system. So dd if=/dev/sda of=hdd.iso would not be an ISO image (because /dev/sda for me is ext4.)
We are talking about "rip[ping] a DVD straight to .iso". /dev/sda is not a DVD.
Yes, I know. I'm talking of the general advice because dd is not a general-purpose ISO-making program so I am throwing that caution out there for people.
Thanks. Will this work for encrypted dvds given that I have libdvdcss installed?
'dd' does a bit for bit copy. It does not matter what the data are. "libdvdcss" unscrambles the content of the DVD, it breaks the DRM, when a video player tries to read it. It will be needed to play the ISO (e.g., in Totem). Not to create it. At least, that is my understanding.
My disk writer/reader isn't working anymore. But I decided to simulate
with Brasero.
I cannot use Brasero to copy a CD/DVD to a disk image, but I tried using
Brasero to make a disk image from files and directories, and after
opening, Brasero, selecting "Create data project", selecting the files,
and selecting "Record [or write] to image", there's a button at the
right-side of the menu that let's you select where you want the image to
be saved.
Besides, you can also use the "cdrdao" package. Just remember that
CDRDAO doesnot accept .cue files/sheets. You must convert these to .toc
files (table of contents) which I find to be more friendlier to
understand than the .cue files.
CDRDAO is also supported by Brasero. Check the plug-ins window.
To convert .cue files to .toc files, use either the "cue2toc" or the
cueconvert command provided by the "cuetools" package. I'm unable to
tell you which one is better because it's been three years since my last
use of these packages.
