How to save LEGAL digital copies of your favorite movies.

Some DVD and BLURAY disks come with an extra cd for a legal digital copy with DRM protection. You NEED 2.2 for this. I got my droid x to play these movies just fine and it looks NICE. Basically, you need a PC. I dont know how it would work for MAC. Make sure you have the latest version of windows media player, if you need to update the DRM cache files, the digital copy will do that for you. Once the movie is on your computer (or any movie in mp4 format) Go to Windows Media Player , connect your Droid x and set it to "Windows Media Sync" Your pc will detect it and you can synk anything from photos , music and videos! Even if you get the message that the DRM expired at the top of your droid(just once), thats fine. The movies look great. You can install the PC or PORTABLE versions. I recommend the portable for size, quality use PC but it takes a LONG time to sync.

Wouldnt it be faster to use Mass Storage option to transfer file, the speed is better? Ive tried both and Syn wanted almost a hour to tranfer a 1 Gig video where Mass Storage option did it in 14 minutes.

I tried and it didnt work. Does it transfer the DRM ? The properties in the video file reads that it can be syynced once and can not be burned.

Can't really say, I usually filtered mine down to device resolution to save space, I just bought the Ironman 2 with digital copy and after searching google was able to get an app that resized file down to 500 megs verse the 1.2 Gig for me with pretty high quality.

NICE! What app are you using to scale it down? I would love to do that. Lord of the rings came with 2 versions, mobile version and pc version. Fast & Furious did not come with a mobile version so its 2 gigs and it did take a loooooong time to sync.

Copying digital copy to my pc works fine. when copying to my droid x it says all files copied. Droid says license expired and when I try to play movie on my phone it says file cannot be displayed. Is this because the digital copy is not a mp4. do I need dvd catalyst or something?

I am assuming you must be working with a iPhone M4V file and the process to filter those are way more of pain and isnt easy, the best thing to do is to use a app like DVD Catylst to convert your own Mp4 video copy.
