you can use dvdfab to rip dvd's and then use handbrake to convert them.   try xbmc, great prog to use on a htpc

upprc04:
If you like the look of that, check out Media Browser.  I'm using that on my Windows 7 HTPC.  Haven't got in to ripping blurays though.  I'd need to probably stock up on a ton of storage and make a separate server machine.  Depending on how you rip Blurays it would definitely fill up a hard drive fast (about 50gigs per movie, if ripping iso), but you can convert the file to make it smaller

I don't convert them.  I don't see the point in reducing the resolution or quality.  I rip the full thing into a folder.  I may look at taking out things like warnings or bonus content, but for now all dvds and blu-rays are full rips.

if you do it right you wont lose resolution or quality.

I disagree.  If you convert it to anything it has to loose quality. It's a lossy format, it has to loose quality.  Whether or not it is noticeable to you is a different story.  To me it isn't worth it plus having to deal with adding chapters in etc.
