DVD to hard drive, then watch from hard drive

You could be looking at up to 5 or 6 GB for a single movie, more even with all the extras (not sure if you can strip those out ripping an ISO like that). I'd rip those DVD's into DivX or Xvid if I were you. That's the DVD equivalent of ripping a CD into MP3 files. It significantly compresses it, but you can get really good quality too.

Seconded. Compressing the movies is definately the way to go.

i'm ok with giving up 5 gigs for a movie, and i've heard of programs that can trim the fat from dvd's too, although i can't find them again.
it's just so hard to search and get meaningful information, can anyone recommend a good forum site for all this? cause i can search for info, i just have to narrow down my search from the whole internet.

DVD Shrink will let you get rid of special features, menus, and commentary/additional languages

I'll second Xbox Media Center. I'm hooked. Set up a server and stream away.
