Well, thank goodness for Youtube!

An “Avenger” movie? Now that’s interesting.

Posted on: April 27th, 2008 What DVDs to bring on a long trip?

I am booked for a 5-day stay in London and now in the midst of preparing for a long 18-hour plane ride. I have several podcasts loaded, an audible book ready, and am now in the process of ripping a few DVDs to watch on the place and in the hotel. The question is: which DVDs should I rip?

As I write this, Mac The Ripper is ripping “The Shawshank Redepmtion” onto my external drive. I am also thinking of ripping “Apocalypse Now Redux,” a DVD that I bought a long time ago in Singapore but never got to watch (I did see the original though). Maybe I’ll also rip the entire “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

That’s the beauty of Mac The Ripper. Aside from backing up the DVDs, I can watch several movies while on a trip without adding to my luggage load.
