There are a number of programs that will rip dvd's to any format you want - divx,xvid,wmv. Try No. 1 dvdripper

This plays most MPEG-4 ASP (MPEG-4 Part 2) files which is used by things like the first release of DivX.Unfortunatelly you must buy a plugin for MPEG-4 AVC (MPEG-4 Part 10), which is also called 'H.264,' which is used by recent releases of DivX and Nero 7.The files in H.264 are much smaller but they consume more battery life.If you don't want to do any conversion you must buy a DVD plugin which plays DVD files directly. This uses the least battery life but the files are the largest.

You can copy the files to a DvD as though it were a CD with files on it, and then open the files you stored on the DvD disk just like you would open the files form a hard drive - not with a DvD player. You have to have mpo compatible software. Iif you convert to DvD format in the process of recording, you'll lose.

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

Have you tried it on copyrighted movies? I have a bunch of older exercise tapes that I would like to put on DVDs. Thanks,

Hello..Not sure about VHS to DVD..I have failed at that as well..But these are great for backing up DVDs to use not to danger the original copy

Yes or DVD to VHS. Very easy to use to do that as long as you have the right DVD. They have to be DVD -R, not +R.

So if I wanted to record a program that's longer than 2 hours (DVD length) I could record directly to the DVD at, say, Long Play mode? Or I could record to HDD at LP mode so I could burn a DVD later? It does make sense to burn at the recorded speed; thanks for the hint! Thanks for the help!

I asked this question in another discussion but this discussion may be more appropriate:Which DVD format is best for recording on the Toshiba D-R400?DVD-R; DVD+R; DVD-RW; or DVD+RW? If there is info in the manual I don't see it.Thank you.

There are some ways to convert DVDS to computer files - a full length DVD can be compressed to a 1 gig backup file and you can load 8 full movies or a few seasons of a TV show on a 8 gig SD card, load it in the EEE, and it will serve you well on a trip.

yes I have done it. I started dubbing my sons dvd's just in case they get scratch, broke, and etc...so i don't have to go and buy the same movies over and over again. I keep the original safe and when the dvd is non usesable I just make him another. But since he got older to put the dvd in himself and scratching it up I tried puting it on usb and the clarity is the same as if it was on a dvd. but the flash drive only go to 16gb and I had more movies i wanted to put so I got a 250 portable hard drive and it is working perfectly. I also invested in a portable and home dvd player that is usb capatible so instead of me haveing 50 dvds, cases and cases of dvds. I have 1 portable hard drive with over 50 movies on it that I watch on my computer or regular tv. Some of the plasma come with usb ports so you don't even need a dvd player.

this was awesome to use it, you can use in SD card and the sata hd, you can transfer the SD through sata, now I enjoy the movie, I convert first in digital the DVD, going to SD then sata hard disc, but you can convert directly to sata

Thanks. Do you know where I can find information about how to save the DVD to the HD?

The DVD will store the files in a VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folder, most likely - the standard for DVDs. You should check for some video conversion / DVD ripping software. On a Mac, you could try MacTheRipper with Roxio Popcorn to copy the VIDEO_TS folder to your hard drive and then convert it to a standard .MOV for editing in Final Cut. On Windows, try something like DVD-WMV to convert your files to Windows Media Video, which should be editable in any standard editing program.

It's a different format. I use +. I can make data discs for my computer, or a DVD (Video_TS) for my DVD player on the TV.

It is easy to format just go to format and select the drive letter. These flash drives handle video but a USB 3 drive will work better.

You would either have to do it on another computer and transfer to a memory card; or I believe there is a way to do it via home network. Obviously, this will be difficult/impossible if you dont have a computer with a DVD drive. Ofcourse you can buy an external DVD and save movies to the HD, but those drives arent very cheap. If I remember correctly, it is a multi-step process and you will need to download a couple free programs.
