Q How I can safely delete Windows 8 and install Ubuntu?
A You don't need to delete Windows, just install Ubuntu on top of it.
At the same time, it might be prudent to keep Windows in case you might sell the machine in the future. There are tools in Windows to shrink the partition, so you could dual-boot. Ubuntu can use any free space in the Windows partition, so all you lose is the space actually used by Windows.
Q Comment puis-je supprimer en toute sécurité Windows 8 et installer Ubuntu ?
R Vous n'avez pas besoin de supprimer Windows, il suffit d'installer Ubuntu à la place de celui-ci.
Cela dit, il serait prudent de garder Windows au cas où vous voudriez revendre la machine à l'avenir. Il existe des outils de Windows pour réduire la partition, vous pourrez ainsi installer un dual-boot. Ubuntu peut utiliser tout l'espace libre sur la partition Windows, tout ce que vous perdrez est l'espace utilisé par Windows.
Q What software would you suggest for copying dvds and also for ripping/shrinking dvds?

Tips and Techniques
Android Connection
I recently got my first Android smartphone. After figuring out how to make and receive phone calls, the next thing I wanted to do was put some music on the phone so I can listen while riding public transit.
For some reason, the Android developers decided a phone shouldn't look like a flash drive when it's plugged into a computer. After lots of Google searches, I found a couple of pages which held out hope that I could cope with “mtp” for transferring files. Then The Right Answer popped up: Airdroid.
I enable the phone's Wi-Fi, then install Airdroid from the Play Store. Start Airdroid. Connect to web.airdroid.com on my computer. Point the phone's camera at the QR code on the web page and tap, “scan QR code.” Wow!
The web page shows me how much space is being used of the built-in storage and the SD card. On the left are icons for music, videos and pictures, and several others. I can easily move music, pictures and videos back and forth between the computer and the phone, just what I wanted.
The goodness doesn't end there: there's an icon for Contacts, where I can add and edit contacts using my PC's keyboard instead of the crummy little touch-screen keyboard on the phone.
Airdroid has more features which I haven't explored. The things I have used are enough to make me say, “this is the best app of the decade.”
