[quote=Anonymous]As a point of clarification:  DVDs are already digital and contain files on them.  Unless OP wants to make more DVDs, he wants to "rip" existing DVDs, not "burn" more of them.  There is lots of software to do this, both free and paid.  I can personally recommend makemkv, but there are other options as well.  You might need to jump through some hoops if you want to maintain multiple subtitle tracks, "bonus" features, etc., or if you need to deal with multiple regions and/or convert from PAL to NTSC.

Agreed with paying the kid down the street to do this.  As noted above, commercial services generally won't deal with commercial releases.  And the kid down the street will probably do a better job, anyway.  Note that the file sizes are likely to be large; a full DVD is roughly 4-8GB of data, depending upon whether it is a single-layer a double-layer disk.  Blu-Rays are 25-50GB.

Once you have done this, keep the original disks as backups, since you probably don't want to manage regular backups of this size, anyway.[/quote]
