Always best to leave original CD's at home. Customs guys occasionally seek bribes when you try to take them out.

As for movies, I simply download them (I have Fibre Optic HS service).

Just keep it in your check-in baggage if you have one. Otherwise better make a duplicate and keep the original at home as Jaitch suggested if it is costly
I think almost every software (pirated) and DVD movies you can buy from here especially from Bui Thi Xuan street, Q.1 with a cheap price! (Yeah, below 20.000 VND)

I just keep everything on drives, never on disks.
