This is a nice piece of freeware software that will keep menus and able to shrink the size of the DVD image.

tried vobcopy then copied the file tree to N900 and run mplayer in terminal as mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path to vob video.ts tree but mplayer not compiled for libdvd so tried cd to the *vob file and tried mplayer -cache 8192 -ni *vobfiles of the movie and it played but then choked and went stuttery. Am guessing not enough RAM and CPU for the files.

I looked at the wiki for handbrake. There is an xml file with settings. The import in Handbrake wants a .plist file for import. How can I import these settings?

k9copy is a wonderful tool for operations like these.

This is a very sensible use case, IMHO.

The DRM backing companies are doing their very best to prevent you from doing just that. If you try to do that, you're obviously a dangerous criminal.

There are solutions that allow you to see unprotected DVD streams, but as it is today, it can be hard enough to set up an ubuntu PC to play a blockbuster DVD.

DRM hurts you.

Do you know the biggest joke about all this? - that last link "dangerous criminal" do you know what I got on youtube?

What a joke!! GRRRRR! The internet is supposed to be global, I hate these silly things, why do I have to resort to proxies?
