It's been my long-time goal to rip our DVDs (well, the good ones, forget the goofy anime stuff that my wife had before we got married) to the hard drive for streaming to the PS3. It's taken so long because I'll just pop a disc in the drive and start converting, then go to work. When I get home, one disc is finished. That takes for freakin ever though.
Not too shabby of quality, though. x264 with a decent bitrate (say, 1500kbps for video, VBR audio) for a DVD at native res comes out to about 500MB per hour. A 500GB drive (460GiB) comes out to about 450 or so movies on a hard drive.
Backing that up via Time Machine and a USB drive attached via Airport Extreme 802.11n probably takes a while, but it's always backed up that file before I ever get home from work.
