In all honesty, i went down the route of ripping all my DVD's to a HDD, so i could watch my stuff while travelling, and is was a nightmare, finding the right codecs, the right software. then worrying it wouldnt play, or the audio would go out of sync, not to mention the hours it can take to re encode to any decent quality, then i realised that i could download the same thing already encoded and ripped for me off torrents in 10 mins.
Thats what i do now, over the last few years, if i buy a blu ray or DVD, i download a version after i bought it, and that goes on an external HDD, so if i want something, i already have it takes minutes to move over.
Honestly, just download it.
