codecs, schmodecs. I've visited numerous sites (good and spammy) that all provide detailed, thousand-step "how to" guides on ripping DVD's to my system for local or iPod playback. But there has *got* to be a better way. So, here's my question:
What's the best/easiest way to rip a DVD on a Win XP PC?
Hopefully, I won't have to plow through a zillion crappy codec's, virus-infested malware, or other crippled adware to get this done. All I want to do is to be able to view my DVD's on my iPod or laptop - without the actual DVD in the player (thereby saving batteries on my laptop).
Thanks!

You need a DVD ripper program. You wont save much if any battery power. You will be running the DVD from the hard drive and you will still be using a lot of battery power to decode, and display the DVD.
