Any of the ripping software will save the dvd to your HD. Just be advised that some dvd's are as much as 8-9 gig if you do the complete disc. Less if movie only. Hope you have a BIG HD.. Jerry
@ERICST You should consider to convert the movies to DivX/MPEG-4 if you don't intend to burn them on DVD and watch them on a standalone player. The movie size would be divided by 4 or 5 (at least). There are freeware DivX/MPEG-4 codecs around. One is also included with Nero 6 (called NeroDigital).
