It’s far easier to decrypt and recode your DVDs into a mpeg 4 format, pile hundred of titles onto an external drive and move the drive around or network it. A free copy of DVD 43 will decrypt and Nero’s excellent recoder will do the trick. I can run all 251 episodes of M*A*S*H from my office computer over the network, to my living room media center and onto my 60 inch wide screen, in chronological sequence and then repeat them endlessly for days on end. The picture and sound are perfect in mpeg4 and took less than 100 gb on my external HD. When I go on trips or vacation, I pack up the HD and plug it in to a laptop (or any multitude of HD supporting devices) and I’m set. External HD costs are extremely low and some units are smaller that iPods. The legality of this method is of course questionable, but I am ripping my own purchased DVDs for my own use, not unlike taking the DVDs and playing them on different players around my home or on the road. My method is elegant and useful.
