VOB files.  Nothing scratches a DVD faster than a 2yr old trying to
insert it into a VCR to play it :-)  Put all the DVDs into MythVideo and
store the DVDs safely out of reach.  Heck, not having to watch the
unskipable five minute commercial at the front of each Disney video will
pay for the array in a week.
