I made a script recently that makes backing up your movies and or games for PERSONAL USE! quick and easy.
I wasn't sure where to put this.
requires dd and growisofs

#!/bin/bash

# if no path is given exit
if [ `expr length "$1"` == 0 ]; then
echo -e "You have not given a filename.\nPlease use copy-dvd path/to/file.iso"
exit
else
echo -e "Copying to $1... \n "

#copy dvd to $1
#change /dev/scd1 to your dvd drive
dd if=/dev/scd1 of=$1

echo ""
echo "####################"
echo "# Copying finished #"
echo "####################"

#burn?

echo -e "Burn $1 to dvd? \n <yes|no>"
read BURN

# burn the iso after its finished ripping
if [ $BURN = yes ]; then
# change /dev/scd0 to your dvd burner
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=$1

echo ""
echo "################"
echo "# Burning Done #"
echo "################"

else
echo "###############"
echo "# Didn't Burn #"
echo "###############"
echo "Your iso $1 is ready"
exit
fi

#remove iso

echo -e "Remove $1? \n <yes|no>"
read REMOVE

if [ $REMOVE = yes ]; then
rm -rf $1
echo "$1 was deleted"
else
echo "$1 was NOT deleted"
fi
fi

Moved out of Tutorials & Tips as it is a script, not necessarily a tutorial.
