Ummm..., maybe okay for data purposes, but I still get my movies on DVD, and I’ve been known to view them on my Mac laptop and also plug that into a big screen TV and watch it there... :-)

Look for a program called Handbrake.

You're welcome.

If you're watching movies on the go, ripping them to the hard drive is a lot easier on the battery than keeping that 5.25" disc spinning. Standard-definition movies rip down to about 1-2 GB per.

Why do people start their posts with "ummmm...."

Strange.

OTOH, I've been known to load a whole tote bag with DVDs for entertainment purposes when the family goes on an extended trip.

I could do without that hassle...
