[NBLUG/talk] Copying video DVD's to disk?

[Lincoln Peters]

I used a Lite-On DVD recorder to record a "MythBusters" marathon this 
afternoon onto 3 DVD's.  I'd like to be able to convert them into video files 
I can save on my hard disk, but I'm not quite sure how.  Any suggestions?

And just to be clear in case any MPAA lawyers are lurking on the list: there 
are PLENTY of uses for such recordings that fall within "fair use", not the 
least of which is the ability to play them on a laptop without draining my 
battery (a 2.5" internal hard disk uses far less power than a DVD drive).
