Can movie DVDS be loaded onto this thing? I'm thinking of getting this to replace portable DVD for travelling with kids on airplane, etc but I'd need to download all their favorites.

If you can get a file "ripped" you can put it on here. I have six DVDs on my Archos at the moment, in fact.If you're going to take it on the plane with you... get a car/air charger or a large-ish external battery pack you can use to power it. If you get 4 hours of video time, you're doing well... you'll be happier if you can plug into the "under-seat power" receptacle which maybe 1/4 of the seats on an airliner will have.

Yes through clone dvd mobile. You can download a free trial. You need sly soft and clone dvd mobile.

what you can do is buy a dvr snap on for around 30-60 dollars this will plug into the back of your dvd player (or any other device with a video and audio out) and will record the video onto the Archos. Each video will take up about a gig but with 250 gigs on the archos i have no problem with that. The only problem is is that you have to wait until the movie is over for it to be done which means each movie will take 2 hours to download. the snap on also works with DISH/DirectTV

It's illegal, $250,000 fine and 5 years incarceration, to my understanding.

United StatesOn the whole, it is legal for an individual in the United States to make a copy of media he/she owns for his/her own personal use. For instance, making a copy of a personally-owned audio CD for transfer to an MP3 player for that person's personal use would be legal.WIKIPEDIA.com yes i know it is wikipedia

if you rip a movie from a dvd you already own or record it like i posted above they will most likely not be able to find out what you did and the fine is mostly for people who sell the movies

No you will definitely want to do it. Some movies don't even play without the updates so its always recommended to get them. However I've been having problems with my BDP-S350 lately, some titles just will not load (Notorious, My Bloody Valentine 3D) I'm still trying to figure out why this is.

You have to download. The problem is we couldnt get anything to download. We tried video, music and pictures. Nothing worked.

The DVD could be burned as a data disc. It would not be playable on a DVD console player unless it can read and play back native JPG or AVI files.

yes I have done it. I started dubbing my sons dvd's just in case they get scratch, broke, and etc...so i don't have to go and buy the same movies over and over again. I keep the original safe and when the dvd is non usesable I just make him another. But since he got older to put the dvd in himself and scratching it up I tried puting it on usb and the clarity is the same as if it was on a dvd. but the flash drive only go to 16gb and I had more movies i wanted to put so I got a 250 portable hard drive and it is working perfectly. I also invested in a portable and home dvd player that is usb capatible so instead of me haveing 50 dvds, cases and cases of dvds. I have 1 portable hard drive with over 50 movies on it that I watch on my computer or regular tv. Some of the plasma come with usb ports so you don't even need a dvd player.

I never tried to put games on it just music and videos. Some videos it will play some it won't you will have to format the videos to the player. The formats are mp3,4,5. It all so plays movies with a micro SD card. I hope this helps.

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I have has some success with it. It will ask you to download an add on. It is safe and it helps. I've had some newer DVD's that didn't work. Hope this helps. Otherwise, I highly recommend.

Ideally, yes you would be able to. Just not in the same format( e.g. One mp4 one DVD). However, my second screen broke within days. I was on a road trip and unable to return it. I don't recommend this product due to low quality.

I use my player for what it is, a DVD player and it works very well. I am not interested in downloading therefore I have absolutely no idea.

Yes you can. I recently was on a trip and i definetly was able to use it in the back seat. But i would definetly download a movie because i forgot &#128522;.

Sorry, it seems to be DVD disc only. I've tried movies on the SD card and USB flashdrive, but it shows "unsupported media" on the screen.

My husband has transferred DVDs to our iPhone and iPad. I don't know exactly how he did it, but it can be done. Maybe through a cloud? That would be my guess. Alright, he said he used some type of software.

You can simply put the movies on a usb thumb drive. There's two (2) full sized usb 3.0 slots on the side. Just be sure to use the smaller ones, as they barely stick out of the side, if you're worried about damage to the stick.

I haven't tried it but I'm guessing most likely not. Not many home DVD players do if any that I'm aware of. I'd suggest burning a movie to a DVD-R if you are going that route.

prepare to sit for a long period of time on a computer messing with different formats, but once you sit through all that.. this thing is awesome... but no it does not take dvds
