Wouldn't run in my VMs -- just splash screen with ~5% CPU -- but would install & run in the Win10 Sandbox. 1st try activating I got the timeout as already reported, but 2nd try worked -- just keep trying I guess, as their servers could be getting pounded.
Copying video DVDs is preferred vs. ripping [re-encoding] -- I believe the video quality is purposely reduced to discourage ripping -- & most devices will play DVD's mpg2 using VLC. An old, free app, DVD Shrink [same as older versions of Nero Recode] will let you trim the video without re-encoding, e.g. to cut off end credits, which can save enough space you may find it worthwhile. Another old, free app called PGCDemux will give you the individual audio, video, & sub files, which can be handy if you do decide to re-encode but want to keep the original audio, or work with it separately, e.g. turn 5.1 AC3 into stereo, which again saves space. The downside is that you'll have to recreate the DVD layout -- put the content into VOB files using the DVD format using a DVD authoring app.

As stated in the info for today's GOTD offer, Leawo DVD Copy 11.0.0.1 is one module of a multi-function app. [I'm not a fan of this arrangement, but whatever.] Installation isn't too bad, but it does add the old Toshiba Blu-ray driver, thdudf.sys, which can *sometimes* cause problems. [It was used back when Blu-rays were a new thing, but on current systems, not necessary.] Otherwise it adds the program's folder, along with folders & files in (My) Documents, Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Roaming\, Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\, & ProgramData, with a folder named cdagtsvc in Program Files [32-bit Windows] or Program Files (x86)\ Common Files\. A partial install of the Xvid codec is also included.
For those of us with old DVD collections, *if you use subs & want to bother*, you can try to make them a little more watchable on today's TVs. You might also put several DVDs on a Blu-ray disc if you wanted -- both the mpg2 encoding and the smaller, analog-based frame sizes are actually part of the official Blu-ray spec. While this will not make Any DVD watchable on a TV at 4k, at 1080p it helps. You can use one of the free tools at videohelp[.]com to copy the audio & video to a mpg2 file, then use SubtitleEdit to OCR the subs to an .srt file. Since most DVDs included some form of captioning, you can also try ccextractor to turn that captioning into an .srt file. Name that file the same as the video file, and VLC will let you turn sub display on/off, displaying the subs clearly at the proper resolution.
You can use the audio & video as-is with a Blu-ray authoring app, though you have to be choosy about which app you pick, since some authoring apps will insist on re-encoding. Depending on the authoring app you use, you may want to use the audio & video combined in an mpg2 file, or split them up, e.g. using PGCDemux. With some authoring apps you *may* have to *mux* the video without actually adding an audio file to add timing info to the .m2v file PGCDemux will give you. If you want/need subs, you have to use a Blu-ray authoring app that lets you create them, or a separate tool to generate the Blu-ray sub file using the .srt file you got using SubtitleEdit or ccextractor.
