Hi my friend has a substantial dvd collection and wants to be able to watch them on his samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet. He would like to know a good program to use to be able to convert it to a readable format that can be used on the tablet. I know of convertDVDtoX but its paid-for software. Are there any free ones? Cheers.
I use MAKEMKV to rip them and Freemake to shrink and change file format MAKEMKV this is free for a month for blu rays, i think dvd's are free ongoing http://www.makemkv.com/download/ Freemake this is free to use http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/
I use AnyDVD HD to grant access to the disc, and Handbrake to encode on a weekly basis without issue, you know in case Lovefilm need a backup... It actually started out shifting the 600 DVD's and Blu-ray's to my server so I could use XBMC around the house, then to curb the expense of buying films for our library I joined Lovefilm. The only disc's I will buy now are quality films and Awesome TV shows in complete box set style, i.e when Game of Thrones is complete and over I shall track down the complete collectors edition set that will be released (hope so).
I use handbrake or Freemake. Both very good. But I think Freemake is easier to use if you've not used these before.
When loading, just decline loading other software. Easy. Better to try it before you criticise and put others off.
I'm just a strong believer that if it's "free" it should be open-source so you could at least see what's going on in there. It's probably fine, but lot's of "free" to download applications that are close source tend to be a little rogue.
