Do people still rip DVDs?

I am out of the loop on this.  I have a 14 hour car trip coming up.  I have 2 kids.  I have an android tablet.  I have kids DVDs.

 

What is the best way to rip the DVDs?  And then play them on the tablet?  I went and got older and forgot all of the software I used to use for such things.

 

I would also like to be able to reduce the quality of the video files to preserve file size.

 

Kisses,

I bought a two screen dvd player at target over a year ago for about $70. It uses the cigarette lighter. Id suggest that instead of spending time with what you are talking about.

Bittorrent them....that still works for kiddy stuff.  Been there, done that lately.

 

Where do you go to search for torrents these days?  The site I used to use when I last did such a thing (ie circa 2008) is now defunct.

The big torrent site from back in the day is still up....and 70% of what ours watch isn't on DVD as of yet.  Stupid Paw Patrol...

 

 

 

What I did was ripped what I could still find the DVDs for (or better yet, ones that aren't scratched all to hell), uploaded it to my NAS, and also to this little gizmo that I absolutely love for long trips where they both want to watch something different on their tablets, but doesn't have to take up internal storage on them:

It comes with a 32Gb microSD card, but I replaced it with a 64Gb so they can have more crap and lessen me getting bugged.

To answer the question, honestly I believe your best bet would be to buy the dvd player already mentioned or to bring along a laptop.

Ripping and converting is pretty time consuming. The best dvd ripping programs are old and nearly obsolete now. Most modern programs will not rip a copy written dvd.

He said the trip will take 14 hrs. Ms jase will drive while he rips old school.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
