Downloading DVD's onto a USB memory stick

Recommended Posts

Yep. Free dvd converters either put a water mark on it or convert like 5 minutes telling u to pay x amount for a full version. Royal pain in the ass..

I'll check the format when I get home.

Thanks to everyone who have been helping with this... I've learn quite a bit today, and from the guys on my motorhome forum as well. Everyone has been most helpful

Otherwise feel free to send me the drive and I will fill it up with movies for you. Issue is my movies are all HD and range from 6gb to 20gb per movie. But should be able to get 10 to 15 new releases on there for you.

Thanks for the offer Dan. It's only 64 gig though. I'll ring you in the morning. Is your number still the same ? If not ...Pm me

PS... I don't want any of your home made porn though :P

Lol HD movies on a 22" veon tv (warehouse brand right?) is so overkill. 720p is more than enough! Like 1gig a movie

Oh lol ur right. I was thinking of full hd (ie. 1080p)

But still 6gb for 1 full hd movie sounds pretty massive.. isnt it usually half that?

If the path to converting the dvd's fails, can always resort to an external dvd player (connects via USB). I can lend you one if you need it soon temporarily.

A proper full HD movie that hasn't been compressed to death can be over 10gb.

All sorted. Thanks for everyones input. I downloaded the latest version of "HandBrake" and have copied over two of my movies onto the USB stick successfully this morning. It took approx 30 minutes to copy over each 900mb. Both movies play on my lap top so they should play on the TV. I copied them in MPEG-4. The movies are only for back up if we're in an area with no satellite coverage. I have a sat dish & a MYSky box on board.... and a fridge full of "red" :P

It's been 10 years since I did this, but if you have a Mac Handbrake should work for you

Yes! I win the thread?
