From Wikipedia
Quote:
Ripping is the process of copying the audio and/or video data from one media form, such as Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) or Compact Disc (CD), to a hard disk. While the original media is typically digital, the extraction of analog media such as VHS video or vinyl records to a digital format can also be referred to as "ripping" by extension. The copied data, called "rips", are usually encoded in a compressed format such as MP3, WMA or Ogg Vorbis for audio or MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or DivX for video in order to conserve storage space.
After you have ripped, you encode and then burn to your media.

For an excellent explanation of many of the terms used here check out the 'Glossary' tab at the top of the page. Also check out the guides for other instruction on how to back up DVDs etc.
