Could you build this?

Partial Wrapping MakeMKV and ffmpeg in a UI is easy, but ripping commercial discs depends on AACS/DRM decryption, which is a hard technical and legal barrier that needs specialized work.

What it would actually take: A real version would drive existing tools such as MakeMKV's CLI and ffmpeg from a desktop or web front end, with disc-drive detection and queueing. The difficult part is protected-disc decryption, which relies on key databases and specialized reverse engineering, and it carries significant legal and licensing constraints.
