Your advice - copy DVD i own to watch on flight

[Great deal]

Hi all,

Ive never really copied DVD's and there seems to be a lot of converters out there. Which one should I use to copy a dvd and transfer to Surface Pro 2?

Thanks!

I use handbrake. free (legally), and easy to use, you have to .mp4 for windows phone/RT to use it.

Just downloaded it - put the Hangover DVD into pc - selected destination (.mp4) and says to dselect source, i can see the DVD but no files on the disk :/ is it protected perhaps?

I use Audials Tunebite Record, convert and enjoy music, films and DVDs
Its not free, but it works so good.

Use MakeMKV MakeMKV - Make MKV from Blu-ray and DVD.
If the size is too big, compress it with handbrake afterwards.
