DVD coping, help needed!
Let me explain, I travel quite a lot and in addition to this I have a home in the UK and one in Egypt. I like to watch DVDs and when I'm in the UK half of my collection is in Egypt and vice versa.

Yesterday I bought a External hard drive and the idea is to put all of my films and music on, then I can just take it together with my laptop and I have it all with me wherever I am.

Please reply via PM

I think it was obscured by a typo in the subject - did you mean "DVD Copying" ?

Just copy the directories on the DVD onto a directory on the hard drive. You'll need a separate directory for each DVD and they could occupy up to 4.7 Gbbyte each.

Cheers, Chris

If you want to store on your hard drive ideally you need to rip the dvd first to a format that can sufficiently compress the files and a format your viewer will play.

Best to rip to Divx....

Hi

Music is easy, and can simply be done with Media Player or itunes.

To copy movies then you need what is called a DVD ripper software (search in google) . I have used Alcohol 120 and Imtoo which are both pretty good (Imtoo converts the movie for a PSP or mobile phone ) The ripper software allows you to see the chapters on a DVD and convert them to MPeg files on your hard drive.

Simon,

A lot of dvd ripping software allows you to rip and store the dvd on the hard drive. Just take your pick from the free to download ones.

I use Imtoo and DVD shrink.

If you don't want to compress the DVDs and you just want a copy of them then you could use DVD Decrypter.
