I use this same technique to save dvd's to my hard disk to watch on long airplane flights. Takes up a lot of room, but at least your battery wont die before the end of the movie :-)

how do u do that? i've done it with games before and that was great but when i've tried making images of dvds, the dvd player plays them back all screwed up as if some of the pixels where left behind and so 2 scenes intertwine and the audio is screwed as well, could u point out where i've gone wrong! cheers

I love this idea. My TiBook can make it through most movies, but I bet I could go through 2 if I had the images on the HD, and didn't have to spin the CD/DVD drive.

But, I always thought most commercial movie DVD's had copy protection to stop this sort of thing. Am I wrong?

Also, what settings do you use in Disk Copy? compressed? CD/DVD Master?

Thanks,
Loren

As an aside, I just tried this with T2, to see what would happen.

Using Apples Disk Copy & Toast both got me the same result. I can mount the image files and they launch the DVD, but the sound seems bumpy and the video, while there for the menu, is gone for the movie.

Copy protection?

Loren

I'd guess you're using unprotected DVDs to create a usable mountable Disk Image?
