How to Store DVDs on Computer

I am going on a long trip soon, and would like to be able to watch my movies on my laptop while I am gone. How do I go about putting my DVD's on my external hard drive so that I can watch them with Windows Media Player, etc? And of course, it's easier to carry the hard drive around than it is to carry 40 or 50 DVD's whether they are in a DVD case or in the cases they were in when purchased new.
