Surely you simply copy each DVD to a different directory (folder) on
the computer, then the names won't clash.

Yes I could but that is very cumbersome, especially if I wish to play
random tracks.


If you convert each complete DVD to a single video file, the problem
goes away. So a typical DVD rip will contain a VIDEO_TS folder, that in
turn contains a number of .VOB, .IFO, and .BUP files with names often
starting VTS_ etc. If you point Handbrake at the whole folder, it will
render the whole lot down to a single file of your choice, e.g:
The_sound_of_music.mk4 :-)
