Copying from DVD

One of my friend, wanted to to copy the movie from a DVD onto his computer, so he does not have to insert DVD everytime.

I told him to copy the audio_ and video_ folders from the DVD onto his computer.

my question is, when he copies these folders onto his computer, would he be able to view the movies properly

i know some of the replies will be: "what a bad idea to copy full dvd onto a PC. why not just rip the dvd." the answer is: i don't know how to rip, and certainly, my friend doesn't either.

take care
