Sorry to dash your hopes, Fuzz, but it hasn't happened yet in my decade of DVD playing. Nice thought, however.
Jon, there is absolutely no way ripping DVDs (and playing them from a hard drive) won't consume much more of your time. Hard drives are cheap, but DVD players are cheaper and everyone has one already. Don't forget buying the software, and media player/networking equipment if you're going to play them from your computer. That has to be setup too. It's simply not a good trade off given the exceedingly unlikely event of a broken DVD.
