I have a huge DVD collection and want to use it on BB..

...err..no. Just have a few spares of various sizes in case one of my servers loses a drive. Prices still too painful for me to go on a spending spree.

Thx Royal,

I will check out Handbreak... But VLC is just a player right? What would it do for conversions?

Handbrake uses & requires VLC. VLC isn't just a player (that will play encrypted DVDs), but can handoff the video/audio from a played source to another program for encoding. I've only come across one DVD that Handbrake/VLC couldn't work with and that was Golden Compass due to some encryption/protection issue. Until I had that difficulty, I had forgotten that DVDs get encrypted at all. Handbrake is also multi-threaded so I find it performs quite well.

Gotcha...

Sitting in a car care center right now, so I am anxious to give this a whirl!!!

Later today hopefully!
