Best way to archive DVDs?

[Krosh]

I normally don't rip DVDs, so I don't know anything about it other than there are little tools to do so, so my question is this could I simply rip a DVD to ISO and archive that way, then mount it with deamon tools for play back? I ask because I am leaving the country and need to take some lectures with me and I'm not sure about the encrypting methods, that is to say I don't know if it will effect a 1:1 copy of the DVD?

Not familiar with ripping either.
But you can download some DVD rippers and read tutorials or guides carefully.

Use VLC to playback

Thanks, I'll obviously test them before I go but with all the encryption and such with DVD's would you suppose I have any problem with the ISO since it's 1:1? I hate to arrive and none of my copies work
