Well, do you want your backups to be full quality or slightly less? A DVD is generally 4.7GB. An AVI rip of a DVD is around 700MB. Quality or file size?
If you have enough hard drive space, I'd advise doing normal DVD rips, and leaving them in DVD format.
You don't need a 'video sender' to send media such as these. A standard file share over wires or wireless will do the job perfectly. Though transfering 1 film takes a while on wireless, let alone a good amount.
