Here's what I use to read data CD/DVDs:
[snip imaging stuff]

Ah yes, I forgot to mention this. If you simply want to back up your
DVD collection with no regards to disk space, Jim's method is the best
way. Then, you just use your normal DVD watching tools.

My way is designed to minimise the contents of the DVD and/or optimise
them according to my viewing preferences; whether I decide to keep the
image on disk or burn it out to DVD depends on the application. Also,
to back up a dual-layer DVD to a single-layer one, one usually needs
to re-encode the main title.

I should have realised this earlier, but a document that details most
of the techniques my dvd-backup script uses lives right here at TLUG:

All the ingredients are there, just mix in your favourite flavours to
make your own special sauce. ;)
