1376961 2014-06-12 12:45:00 Overall Greg, I'd just rent a few (cheap enough) and watch them.

There is a copy of Gravity courtesy of some law-breaking students but I haven't watched it because I want to watch the Blu-ray version when there is time.

1376962 2014-06-12 18:16:00 Yeah the DVD thing is easy as still.

If you have an Android Tablet / Cellphone / Chromebook, use Google Play Movies, pin them offline. Many devices will let you play them through a TV with a cable.

Why not rent some DVD's for the weekend & play them on you laptop ?
Is the weekend with your gfriend going to be that boring you need some movies to pass the time :punk

1376964 2014-06-13 03:35:00 Is this possible these days? My friend who allegedly did this a few years ago for backup purposes says modern DVDs are a pain and often cannot be ripped or compressed.

I haven't done any for a while, the ones I did were older ones too. But DVD Decrypter did them all without issue. There are newer programs (but paid) too. I don't see why it shouldn't work. People rip 'tougher' Blu-Ray all the time...

1376965 2014-06-13 05:30:00 You need up to date ripping software to deal with the latest releases but it can still be done. Won't say any more though we are nudging the forum rules with this one I think :) Many of the once popular tools ceased development quite some time ago and although they still work with many titles it's a bit hit and miss these days. dugimodo (138)
1376966 2014-06-13 10:17:00 Initial suggestion would be that if you're away with the GF you might not need movies, BUT in the case you do you could always buy them at the warehouse and then take them back claiming they didn't play in your DVD player. I believe this used to work!

Btw have you been to Vanuatu yet?

As in, treating The Warehouse as a movie library? :p

I seem to recall The Warehouse had (or used to have) fairly prominent disclaimers saying to be absolutely sure of the DVD region and player as they wouldn't make any refund.

More recently Mark Powell (CEO) said he thought his $1.7m salary was ridiculous so arguably one could argue it would do little to their bottom line if they agreed to the occasional refund. Or three.

:D
