If only I could find a matching drive for my laptop. I have the screen, I have the processing power and video card, I just need the drive. The Dell Inspiron has the same case more or less as my vostro, I just can't find any of the drives.
@Dafrety: are you opposed to an external unit? 'Cause even if you don't want to pay the premium on an exteranl one, you could get an internal desktop model and pop it into an external drive housing.
this is equivalent to purchasing a lamborghini diablo, then keeping the steering wheel and changing the rest of the car out with a honda civic. what the hell is the point of buying a blu ray disc and converting it down to an iPhone.
hell the battery on the iPhone wouldnt even last long enough to play through the entire movie probably.. unless you turn off 3G, Wifi and everything else for that matter. hell, turn off the phone. go to a 37inch + tv and watch it on HD with BR.
i'm sure if you can afford an iphone, you can afford a tv and a br player.
@Tom Jun: First of all, I have a giz account that I've been using for a year. So stop with the omg he's a facebooker = boycott! I can post on this account can't I? You're just being totally biased already by admitting that.
Anyway, I find this totally redundant. You're telling me, with your current dvd's , you guys who complained, you all convert those movies onto iPhone format? Just so you can watch this on the go?
As mentioned before, the Dark Knight comes in a digital format as well, to prevent this blu ray burning. I'm obviously not arguing that you carry your TV's and BR players around, but, comon, this is totally ridiculous. If you know about Giz, it's probably likely that you know how to download movies that are already formatted for the iPhone. If you already own the movie, why not just download an alternate version from those sources? Which by the way takes 2 hours, instead of 10+ hours of work to convert it from BR to iPhone format?
You're all telling me, that you have Blu Ray burners, which cost 200$ avg. and you go through all that trouble of converting your BR's to iPhone format? I find that totally unbelievable. Why would you purchase a 25$ + blu ray disc in order to watch it on an iPhone? Besides, you're telling me that for EVERY movie you burn, you're willing to sacrifice 80 gigs per movie? Horse-f*cking-shit. This is totally redundant for this time and age. Maybe a few years down the line, like when BR become where DVD's are now.
@Tom Jun: It's really not so much about how we're all ocd and have to have all of our movies with us at all times. But I certainly am happy to have learned how to rip a BD to a portable format just in case I ever wanted to.
But congrats on being the last pointlessly angry douche-nozzle.
I dont get why you cant just get the Largest M2ts file after anydvd RIP ? .. it works fine .. why do anything else ? i just take the largest M2ts and play it in my PCH100
Or just use AnyDVD-HD to rip to .ISO and download Virtual Clone Drive (free from slysoft) and mount the disc as if it were a real disc. No fuss over encoding or getting codecs to work. Note: This is a 1:1 copy so it will take a 30(+)GB of space per movie, but with this you have all the menus, subtitles, etc.
@TBM-Fan: Cuz nothing is more fun that spending a week (and half your monthly bandwidth) to download a torrent that you will still have to rip/transcode to play on your phone/pmp...
@Drew420: Don't buy Blu-ray from retailers who treat it like a scary niche product. Amazon has been my source and I haven't spent more than $26 on a single one. Most have been under $19. Their prices can change daily.
I checked while at Target the other day, since their DVD prices are usually good. It looked like all their BD selection was at full list price. It was surreal.
@KernelG: The Target in my town has an HD kiosk playing this really obnoxious BD promo video on a loop, but after I finally bit and went looking for their BD movies I realized that this particular Target Store hadn't even started stocking BD movies yet...

Be aware Nero 9's installation might make you want to rip the balls off Nero's programmers.

No Dark Knight came with a code that would enable you to 'purchase' a digital copy for $1.99

Now if only they can sell the damn things for less than $35 a pop, maybe I'll be able to add some new movies to my library.
