First disc like this I found was Monsters University, I left the kids and Mrs watching it and when I came back and asked if the film was any good, they said it was really confusing The rest are missing bits (chapters) or have the chapters muddled up. When you open an evil DVD you are presented with 20 or 30 possible titles, all similar lengths, but only one is the ture movie. Normally when you open MakeMKV you will see the conetents of the disc listed, you choose the largest item (which will show the runtime which should broadly match with the runtime on the box) which will be the movie, select it, name it and save it. Just be aware that some DVD's have started putting multiple dummy tracks on the disc, and this can be a real PITA. MakeMKV is great for getting the film off the disc, you can then use handbrake to crunch it down to a more suitable size for a tablet. 3 is the favourite option but the £30 BR-drives get very mixed reviews and if the copy protection stops me copying the discs I am no further on.Īm I missing anything here? Is there a way of getting a digital d/l for free if you already own the disc? (clutching at straws). Whilst 2 is easy enough it doesn't sit very comfortably with me and there is always a risk of downloading something nasty, or perhaps some malware being encoded in the film, I don't know. Presumably illegal, although morally I think I would have the high ground owning the original - I believe you are allowed a digital copy, although I believe the letter of the law is that it is a copy of *your* disc!)ģ) buy a cheap BluRay drive from Amazon and hope I can rip the disc (both say "copy protected"). Given that I spent this already on the BR discs I'm not particularly happy with that.Ģ) download it by nefarious means (not experienced in this and seems my ISP blocks most of the torrent sites. After a bit of research it seems I am looking at paying £10-15 each to get a digital copy. although Disney seem to do digital copies, and some discs come with downloads or download codes, neither of these have them. Thought it would be useful to have them on the tablet for car journeys, etc.

My daughter loves Disney films - current favourites at the mo are Frozen and Tangled, both of which we own on BluRay. I have an interesting (possibly!) moral dilemma!
