You'll have to buy or "borrow" the dvds and then use a program like dvd2ppc or pocketDVDstudio (my fav) to save them as .avi files and then transfer them over to your device and watch them with betaplayer.

ah ok. i was wondering if there was a place online to properly buy already formatted episodes for a few bucks - that would be nice.

Yah. I bought all 3 seasons of family guy and a dfew seasons of south park. I also bought Pocket DVD Studio! That one's the best. As a matter of fact, I am using it right now! I'm ripping the movie "Saw" (that was creepy-a good ending) to an avi to use with beta player. That prog is probably one of the most simple ripping programs out there. Very customizable when it comes to output quality and file size.

yeah i'll def try pocketDVD studio. i still wish there was a service online to sell formatted (even DRM'd) copies by the episode or something... i did find something interesting - anyone know anything about tv.org? seems like it could have promise but you can't get much info about the service w/o signing up (weird). i'm sure these are for PC and not compressed etc. but maybe we could get them from there, run them through something and output something small and playable w/ betaplayer?

tv.org looks dodge.
it's probably a credit card number scam.
"$1.49 a month for unlimited access"
that wouldn't even cover bandwidth costs.
a legitimate business would at least charge $1 per episode.
*edit* I noticed a faq at the bottom of the page. it's just a peer to peer network.

yeah i'm sleepin' in TV.org. i realized that i have a netflix sub i use constantly so figured it would be legal to copy movies/shows, watch them once on my PPC (i never really watch anything more than once unless it's a true classic), then delete them.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that. You paid to watch it, what's it matter how you do that, as long as you aren't keeping them.
Some suits somewhere might have a different opinion though. |

If you don't own it don't convert it. Rental tapes/DVD's are covered as are the ones you own. But at least if you own them you have a chance to get out of prison when the government comes to its senses and repeals this No Copies, Not Even Fair Use Copies ruling.
