As I work at sea, I don't want to have to take all the DVD's I want to watch with me, I'd rather save luggage space. So, as I've already bought them, is there any way I can save them to my hard drive (like I can CD's) for watching with media player?

DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter will create iso or vob files depening on your preference of file format. Both are free picies of software . I would then use VLC media player to watch them again its free software which will play just about any file format.
I belive its legal to backup your discs but not to use them unless the orginals are damaged plus its ilegal to change the format of a recording (music, film etc) ie CD to tape, CD to MP3 etc etc.

I see you live in Cumbernauld, you are not the tax man are you?
Terabyte (TB) = 931.32 GB of storage.(*)
Terabyte (TB) = one thousand Gigabytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
Gigabyte (GB) = one thousand Megabytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes
Megabyte (MB) = one thousand kilobytes = 1,000,000 bytes
kilobyte (kB) = one thousand bytes = 1,000 bytes
Byte (B) = 8 bits (b).
Yes, it's a small k for kilo. International standard, sorry. I tend to be fussy about the proper case of the abbreviations, but not if the word is written out in full.
It tends to be a small b for 'bits' and a large B for 'Bytes', and a byte tends to be 8 bits, -- but like Topsy, these aren't really what you'd call international standards. They just growed.
PS: We also use Mplayer to play music CDs, record Videos from tape, watch video streamed online...

After format I would think he meant.Would you expand on that for me?
After format I would think he meant.
my honest advice would be don't bother ripping the dvd's and having to play with shrinking them.
hit the torrents engines and download em instead. its just as illegal ...
and very easily detectable by your ISP.
