Best way to run all your DVDs off of your HDD

[D22]

I have been experimenting with MagicIso, daemon tools, and Nero, and can't come up with a good way really so I want to hear what you all are doing...

converting to MP4 files?
What software are you using?
Making exact disc images and mounting them when you want to watch?
Using windows media center for your collection or something else?

I was thinking the best bet might be to just cut out the extras, leave audio and video at 100%, turn it into an image file and then mount it when I want to watch...

yup. dont convert dvd's when you dont have to, they are bad enough as it is in relative terms. take out the things you dont need and copy to ISO. that way they burn to discs easily when needed and the file is directly playable with many software apps, without losing the menu functions.
