I mean, technically you can do it with Terminal.
sudo dd if="PATH-TO-DevID-of-DVD of="PATH-TO-WHERE-YOU-WANT-IT.iso"
There are also iSuperDVD Ripper and DVD Converter but I have no experience with them at all
MakeMKV if you can find an older build.
Edit: Forget what I wrote, the most recent version works on Snow Leopard.

Back in the SnowLeopard days, I would use a combination of HDDVDdecryptor or MacTheRipper to get a VideoTS folder. Then Handbrake to convert to mp4.
Curious as to what you find lacking in Handbrake. But in any event, a friend uses, and loves, DVDRipperPro - he considers the cost of this software to be worth it.
If it's a commercial DVD, the copy protection will prevent that from working. The copied Video_TS folder won't play.
Best all around ripping app I've found is Mac DVDRipper Pro. I used to use MacTheRipper when I was on Snow Leopard. I think MDRP starts with Mountain Lion. You could always contact them to see. I use the paid version, but the have a 5 instance free trial.

Yeah, then you can absolutely just copy the Video_TS folder. I've never heard of anyone putting copy protection on a non-commercial DVD.
You'll be fine just doing a copy via Finder.
Where are you looking? It won't be in the Mac App Store. You got to download it off of the web.
A quick google search will give you a bunch of results. Look for version 2.6.6, which was the last free version.
Download it from Macupdate.com if you're worried about getting a bad/malicious download.
Here's the link to start the somewhat convoluted process of getting MacTheRipper:

Don't know about compatibility with earlier versions, but they have forums where you can ask.
But as above, it it's not copy protected you can just copy the files.

Why an older build? I have the paid version, and never experienced an issue using whatever latest version is offered. Thanks for any info..
I mistakenly thought the most recent versions didn't run on anything but 10.9 and newer. No idea where I got that from!
2.6.6 definitely works on Snow Leopard. Where did you download it from? Perhaps it's a bogus copy.
It's been a while since I've used it or downloaded apps, so maybe it's not available anymore.
In any case, a non commercial DVD won't need a ripping app, just copy the Video_TS folder and you're good to go.
If you don't need the original DVD structure, use Handbrake or MakeMKV.
