Does Handbrake Remove Drm from Purchased Dvds?

I have searched the forums and Googled but found nothing conclusive yet.

I am leaving on a trip soon and was hoping someone can help answer my question so I can avoid wasting hours of time experimenting if this will not work.

As a backup option, I'm considering DVD Catalyst; someone told me it removes DRM so I may go that route.

Thanks in advance!
