DVD backups

[d3ano]

Now that i have bought a DVD Writer i would like to backup a few DVDs that i have as i normally take them with me when i go away on trips (i play them on the laptop).
What software will i need so that i can rip the DVD on to the HD then burn it on to a DVD-R?
And once burnt will it play in a normal DVD player?

THanks

I'm not sure if this has been fixed but the burners you can buy can't do dual layer (which many commercial disks are), hence you can only get 1/2 a movie to each disk. Better to encode them to say DivX and then backup multiple DivX movies to the DVD.
