With this in mind, after setting up a reasonably sized NAS at home, I decided that it was time for me to start digitizing media that I have currently. Most of it is DVD or CD Audio, as I haven't made the jump to BluRay as of yet.

You'll need to set up and download some things to get all this to work, so if you're into 'one click solutions', this isn't for you. Due to the legal nature of mentioned above, I'm not going to provide a link to the finished product. Have fun and learn something. Or not, I'm not your conscience.
You'll need to install a build environment. The recommendation from VideoLAN (who wrote the library you're going to be compiling) is to use the suite of tools provided by MinGW. MinGW has a very nice installer that you can get from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe/download.
When you get that installed, accepting all the defaults (they appear to be mostly sane), run the installation manager. You'll be presented with a fairly simple 3 pane UI. In the top right pane, select 'mingw-developer-toolkit'. It'll spin for a few moments before coming back and putting a check in the box. Click the 'Installation' menu and then select 'Apply Changes'. This should complete what you need to do with this application.
You'll need to download the code that you're going to be compiling from VideoLAN. You can grab it from http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/last/. It looks like the latest as of this writing is 1.4.0. It also looks like it only is available in a bz2 file. 7-Zip (http://7-zip.org), one of many compressed file managers, can open this for you. I personally like 7-zip because it's scriptable and open. However you unpack this, put it somewhere you can find it easily. I'm lazy and generally put stuff like this on my desktop.
Once you decompress the files, you'll need to open a command prompt, but not the one you think you need to: You'll need to open a MinGW prompt to make things easy. You can open this by running 'C:MinGWmsys1.0msys.bat', assuming that C:MinGW is where you configured the installer to put all of the MinGW stuff. This will open a command prompt that looks a bit strange, but will make your life MUCH easier.
Now's when it gets a bit more complicated. You'll need to change directory to where you unpacked your copy of the DeCSS code. Since I put mine on my desktop, in my MinGW bash window, I change directory like so:
cd /c/Users/captslaq/desktop/libdvdcss-1.4.0/
Once in the proper directory, it's pretty straight forward, and documented in the INSTALL text document:
./configureConfigure, in a nutshell, checks the state of your system and then builds out a file to tell the compiler what it needs to do. This will spit out a list of status messages before exiting without any real complaint, assuming everything works.
makeMake runs all the things that the file(s) spit out by configure tells it to. It'll carp about some things, but in the end it will exit without an error. When this is done, you'll have a new folder, .libs, in your folder. Inside there, you'll find a copy of libdvdcss-2.dll. You don't even have to rename it anymore. Using windows explorer, just copy libdvdcss-2.dll into your handbrake folder. You now have a current version of libdvdcss that should work as expected.
