| 1179896 | 2011-02-20 04:18:00 | Why not make an ISO of each DVD and mount on a virtual drive? Also are these DVDs copy protected or what? |

| 1179897 | 2011-02-20 04:37:00 | hi no the dvds are not copy protected also i know my tv will play avi files strate for a external hard drive so no need to run through a Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player or silimaler |

| 1179898 | 2011-02-20 05:02:00 | Handbrake (handbrake.fr/) will do them, but wont convert to AVI - that format is now outdated. Other wise AutoGK (http:) will do avi. If you try Auto GK I'd suggest you read the tutorial. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1179899 | 2011-02-20 06:24:00 | cool will give them both a try also what format would be good for a samsung tv if avi is outdated, am wanting to rip in avi as i know it plays strate from hard drive |

| 1179900 | 2011-02-20 20:14:00 | avi is just a container and it can contain videos of many different formats (codecs). Check your TV manual to see what type of formats it supports. It will probably be DivX of some variety but if the TV is new it may do mp4. If it supports mp4, use Handbrake to convert your DVDs. If DivX, use AutoGK. |
