I have read I need to rip them? and they need to be this and that format ? I would like to access them away from home and I am so new to this ! so anyone got a thick person guide and not these companies trying to sell rip software ! I have nero 10 it has some rip programme ive never used anyhow if you can help please advise me and thank you for your time
Do an internet search for how to rip a DVD to your computer. There are lots of various programs and methods to do so. What you will need to figure out is what is the end format you need the ripped DVD in. In other words what will you be playing the ripped movie on?
Here are just a few example articles on how to rip/convert movies.

There are a number of free and paid programs that can rip and convert a DVD/BlueRay disc to MKV, MP4 or other My Cloud media server compatible format. Once ripped to your hard drive one can use a free program like Handbrake to convert the media to MKV or MP4.
Hi I just found I have nero 2015 which has a rip feature ? do I need to rip to computer then store on the drive by selecting what the dvd has become after ripping or do I need to create a new folder for each film??
Nero’s rip feature may not rip commercial DVD’s that use encryption. But to answer your question. Yes you would use Nero to rip the DVD to the hard drive. Depending on how Nero rips (I haven’t used Nero in a few years) you may have to use a second program like Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/) to convert that ripped DVD into a My Cloud media server compatible format like MP4 or MKV.
