The two most popular options for this are Kodi (formerly XBMC) and Plex Media Server.

Simply copying your movie files to each of your devices does work, but there are applications that let you stream content on-demand to other devices on your own network with a Netflix-style interface. That's only counting the movie file itself - if you want to store the bonus content as well, make more room on your PC. DVD movies are usually only a few gigabytes, but Blu-Ray movies can easily take up 20-60GB of space. You'll also need a fair amount of disk space, since the ripping process involves dumping the contents of a disc onto your PC. I use the ~$50 LG WH14NS40 for both DVDs and Blu-Rays, and it generally works well, but it's an internal drive that only works on desktops with a spare SATA slot. Blu-ray drives (which can also read all DVDs) are still significantly more expensive than DVD drives, especially external USB models - the Pioneer BDR-XD07B is a popular option for ripping, but it costs around $100. Not all drives are created equal for ripping, but the ASUS ZenDrive Silver is a great (and affordable) option for DVDs. If your PC already has a drive, or if you have an external DVD/Blu-Ray drive collecting dust in a closet or drawer, you're already one step ahead!
