Actually bond can't rip DVD menus. He just suggest to look at your DVD

That was once a wise idea to stop the brainstorming and actually put 
some time limits. But now we should be more relax with that. When things 
are decided we can progress faster than all MPEG4 stuff that need a lot 
of various discussions everywhere on what is what.
