I want to backup my DVD's, or at least convert them to .mp4 so I can stream them to my various devices (PS3, Xbox 360s, iPods). Then I take the original DVD and put them away so my 2 year old daughter doesn't destroy them. This way I never have to worry about handling the physical media. And if the HD crashes, well I still have the Original.
I agree with archiving my originals. I've made "main movie only" copies of all my daughter's Disney movies. No more previews - she plops the disc in (car or the portable player in her room) and straight to the movie.
Plus, those stream from my server to the TVIX devices (in .ISO format, so preserves chapters and alternate soundtracks).

My originals remain un-damaged :)
