You could keep your movies on your hard drive and access them via a GUI instead of digging through your pile of DVD cases. You would pick a movie in exactly the same way you pick a TV station - with your remote control.
Ripping DVDs is the smallest of the benefits of PVP-OPM. Allowing you to use your PC as a PVR for HD content is a much bigger win.

The companies holding the patents on those technologies won't issue licenses to PC drive manufacturers otherwise.
