You can use DVD Decrypter to make an ISO of your DVDs on your HD.
After that, just mount the image in Alcohol 120% or similar and watch it using WinDVD or PowerDVD, or ....

DVD Decrytpor is a good program, but updates are no longer being made for it. Also, it doesn't neccesarily shrink the file down to a size where it will fit upon a standard 4.7 GB DVD. Even if you are just storing the movies on an 800 GB (WOW! is it internal?) hard drive, it is nice to shrink them down to save space. You can use a program called DVD Shrink to shrink the file down to a size that will fit on a DVD. You can also get DVD 43 to decrypt your DVDs, or you can just use DVD Decryptor with DVD Shrink. It takes a lot longer to use the DVD Decrytpor/DVD Shrink combo than it does to to use the DVD 43/DVD Shrink combo.
All three of the above mentioned software programs are freeware, so all you need to do to burn the files to disk is buy a good program that burns the movies to disc...unless somebody out there knows of a good freeware program that burns movie files to disc and they want to let us know what it is called and where we can find it! I personally like to use Roxio 7.5 or the burner that came along with Clone DVD 2. Some people really like Nero, but I've never had very good results with it. Good luck.

the 800 gigs are internal the are 4 200 gig drives... talk about a good freebee they were suposed to be 4 80's but when i put them in and saw what i had i called maxtor and told them and hey told me basicly your lucky keep them
so i am not going to cry about it 800 gig for $150 i won't gripe at all

Hmmm, can I have the phone number of your supplier!! At that price it would be worth paying the extra to have them shipped to the Land Down Under!!

Man.. if I gave someone a fistfull of free money on accident, i'd shoot myself in the face... And if my employee did that.. I'd shoot him/her in the face.. man.. I'd like to shoot someone in the face.
