don't have a dvd player
There's your trouble. I think spending up to £30 on a reputable branded player might be the simplest solution

I use MakeMKV which deals with most (all?) DVD protection. Also allows you to e.g. ignore any streams under half an hour, so you only get the main feature. You may want to keep the raw uncompressed MKV files (even if your TV can't play them) as well as compressed MPG or whatever.
But I'm not up to speed on playing them direct on the telly, as I have a (completely overkill) server to play them via a RPi client.

So we're finally trying to unpack the last of the boxes and I have this one of DVDs. We don't have a dvd player any longer but there are a few classics in here I'd want to keep and watch. What's the best way to (a) rip them and then (b) store them. I presume the latter would be on some kind of hard drive that I can just plug to the TV but it's the former I'm not sure how to do these days. I'm guessing some of them will also be protected too but as it is mine wasn't sure where things were these days with making ripping simpler
