Thanks Guys, The daughter has a Nexus 7 and i am wondering if it is as easy as putting the disc in and hit the rip button or is there a bunch of settings a guy needs to do to get it to work right. Basically i am looking for an easy way to to make copies of the videos for car rides and fishing trips. From past experience i know a lot of free programs have a bunch of dump connected to them and i assume this is the case with these? I also assume this is legal?

Should be step by step instructions at places you can search for. The one I had bookmarked went away.

Legal is in the eye of the beholder. I certainly think it is ok to rip a dvd you bought. Some movies even come with a "digital copy" when you buy the disc.

I do know that the authors of one 'ripping' program (anydvd) had to move their headquarters to switzerland in order to maintain selling of their software because it technically was bypassing the encryption on the bluray discs as it ripped them to your hard drive. From this, I could infer that selling of software to do the 'ripping' is probably illegal in the US. Owning said software and using it for personal use on content that one has purchased legally, on the other hand, is quite a different beast altogether and I'm not sure of the technical legal status. Nor do I care. I do know it's more likely to be legal than going 60 mph down the 55 mph road, which I do almost every day. I'm not going to offer any advice there other than my personal opinion.

When I buy content, I'm going to find a way to play it on any device I feel like using it on -- be that my DVD player, my bluray player, a phone or tablet, or the DVD player in the truck. I'm going to play said purchased content in a way that makes me satisfied, e.g. without fearing that my 7 year old will drop the (expensive) original disc in the truck and step on it, etc. For non-redistributed, PERSONAL use of legally-purchased content, I'd guess folks would have a very hard time being prosecuted regardless of the way any law is or may be written in the future -- there are a LOT of 'fair use' precedent cases that would have to be looked at, I assume. I'm not a lawyer.

Neither of the programs I mentioned have much in the way of spyware or whatnot. They MIGHT have a default search engine that they try to get you to use, not unlike Adobe (acrobat pdf viewer) and Oracle (java). I don't remember, it's been a while since I installed them. So just uncheck any options that look unnecessary as you go through the install. Use google to find the settings that make sense as far as encoding quality, etc. I find that on a small device, a 2-3 Mbps or less encoding on H.264 is sufficient. On my TV, I like to crank it to at least 6 Mbps. It's not one-click, but it's not 100 either.

Well i succeeded in making a digital copy of a dvd last night. Now my question is what program do you use to sync to the tablet? I tried windows media player with no luck. Not sure what program to use on the tablet for viewing as well?

For some reason i didnt think it would be that easy. I figured the file would be on the device but not be able to be opened without some type of media player. Which file would a guy drop it into on the tablet? Just in the picture file or gallery? Thanks guys for the help.

For my daughter's Nexus 7, I just drag the files into one of the file folders. In the Nexus 7 directory, I believe there is already a folder for movies. I just drop them in there. To find them on the tablet, I have to click on the movie icon and then press the 3-dots in the upper right corner of the screen. I'd have to select "Personal Movies" and then it would bring up the movies. You can also click on the Gallery icon and usually find the movies that way as well.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
