I normally do not respond to these types o requests, BUT you did say "My DVD" collection.

I've been using AnyDVD HD for quite some time, But is expensive.
The favority seems to be Handbreak.

I've been converting my DVDs to smaller Mpeg4 files to store on my 64 Gig Thumbdrive for Playback on my Asus tablet and My Samsung laptop. Using AVS Video converter 8, Not a freebee, which condenses the size town to a 2 -> 4 gig file (Does DVD and Bluray) and I can typically put around 20 movies on my 64 gig thumbdrive (also back up to a 2.5" HDD).

Thanks for the reply I didn't expect a sensible answer as most assume the worst with this type of question but I really do just want MY dvds on my pc to save them cluttering up my shelves and getting damaged by my kids .

My son has a very large dvd/Bluray collection and he normally puts them on HDD (external) and then can select and play on whole house TV system. You get to a point that they just flat out take to much room. Then there is the problem of damage as DVDs are not the greatest for "long Life"
