Skipping the "noise", is your basic question: how do I copy movies
off of a DVD onto a hard drive?

If so, the answer is, "sure, it's *really* simple".

Do you have mplayer installed from www.debian-multimedia.org?  If
so, that's step 1.

Look into the KB3 program. It should have the ability copy disk-to-disk
or rip the contents of the DVD to your hard drive. At least the one
currently in stable does.
