DVD to DVDR with 2 machines

[monteie]

Here is the issue that I have. I have a PII 400 that I use as a daily machine at home for low key surfing and other none intense programs. I have a 1.6 laptop that I use for mostly everything else. I want to back up some of my DVD collection and in the process of educating myself with the help of posts on this board.
My problem is this. My PII400 has a CD/DVD burner and a CD/DVD reader. The laptop has nothing. The process that I am thinking of to crate the backups is

1) Rip files on PII
2) Move them over via network connection to the laptop
3) Process the files there
4) Move files back to PII for burning

For the above I was thinking of using AnyDVD, SmartRipper, and CloneDVD.
Can someone outline a process that they thing would work. If I could find a piece of software that would allow me to use a remote CD drive as if it was local I could use the software listed above but I haven't found anything yet.

Thanks

try this
1. DVD decrypter - rip to an iso file (complete dvd).
2. xfer to laptop
3. use daemon tools to mount image (daemon is a virtual dvdrom)
4. Use whichever program you choose to make it fit on dvdr.
5. send back and burn (I make an image and use recordnow max)

Make this even quicker. (maybe)

Skip step 2. Just make the dir the image is in shreable. On the latop, map a netwok drive to that directory and THEN use daemon tools to mount the image. Shrink or whatever from there with destination dir set to somewhere on PII.

Saves all the copying back and forth.
