In reply to Putting movies on netbook w/no optical drive?, posted by Deneb on November 28, 2008, at 16:28:13
I'm in the process of backing up my home movies to an external hard drive so I can evacuate with them and so that I can edit them if I wish. I've got software to do it because a simple "copy" command won't work. There are external DVD readers if you need one. But it's only possible with things that aren't copyprotected. Most movies are.
You can generally buy or rent movies you can download as well. Amazon Unbox or iTunes, I'm sure there are others. It takes up a fair amount of space.
