Copy and Rip in my opinion are different. A copy is the exact same
and I believe that K3b can do that out of the box. To rip, you will
need a few things that are not part of the normal CD/DVD package.
Ensure your machine can play DVD's by installing the multimedia stuff
which is another topic.
Fedora Multimedia Installation HOWTO

Then you can use mplayer/mencoder/DVDRip/transcode to rip and convert
DVD's to what you want. I have only used mencoder and mplayer.
