Question regarding DVDs

[Andrew]

Hay guys, I was wondering if there was a free, easy to use (Or one with an easy to understand step by step wizard) program that'd allow me to back up my DVDs onto my new shiny external hard-drive. 300Gb! Yay! 300 dollars! Yes, I'd like the DVD copy to be easily watchable by a double click on a file and it pops up in windows media player maybe..

that article links to a few good programs. i haven't used one myself, though, so i don't know if they're easy to use or whatever.
