it's trying to create the directory /CHANGE_ME which can't be done as a regular user, you must be root. But, that directory is likely set in a config file somewhere and is meant to be changed so that it points to a directory in your home so that you can run it as a regular user. Try checking for a .dvdrip directory in your home directory, it may contain the config files where you should be able to edit it with a text editor to change that setting.

There is a .dvdriprc file in your home directory. Inside it look for:

 

'base_project_dir' => {
     'value' => '/mnt/key',
     'type' => 'dir',
     'label' => 'Default data base directory'

 

mine points to /mnt/key - point yours wherever you like, but make sure it has plenty of space - at least 6GB...
