Copying my DVDs to my tablet

Afternoon all,

I want to copy some of my DVDs to my tablet for use when I am away from home or when the kids are bored in the car. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this as I cant seem to get the dvd to my PC let alone to my tablet?

Thanks

NB

    Have you the capacity on your tablet? Movies take a lot of space and have encryption to protect the image files.

    You will need to purchase a program that will crack the encryption and allow you to down rate the image quality so that you can store an inferior copy.

    use FREE DVDshrink then Handbrake to convert to MP4. I'm sure there are easier
    ways but works for me.

    search for DVDfab or IdealDVDcopy - Try the free trial versions which will give you an idea of what's involved

    As above, DVDshrink is free, but I've found it won't cope with the latest dvd encryption.
  • Thanks,

    I'll look into it
