Converting Digital Copy movies

Isn’t it the View that can handle the “digital copy” versions directly?  The View has a different NVIDIA chipset.

For everything else, ignore the so-called digital copy, as it has a kludgy DRM scheme embedded.  Take the original DVD copy (often on one of a two-disc set) and use this version for transfer to the Sansa.

Hey, you paid for the original, and the right to play it on your Sansa, or the big family TV, or the little one in the kitchen, that’s up to you.  The big joke with “digital copies” is that those same AVI / MPEG files on the original DVD are all dgital, aren’t they?  And these folks charge you additional for a crippled mess.

I run my DVDs through a decrypter for transfer of those VOB files through the Sansa Media Converter.  It’s a several-step process.  Video4Fuze does a wonderful job, as the individual conversion steps are automated.  If you convert your VOB files to AVI using AnyVideoConverter, you can even import the video using the Rhapsody 4 client.

In a nutshell, the Digital Copy is a mess.  Think about it, if you want to watch a DVD, any DVD, all you need do is pop the DVD into the computer tray and press play.
