Drive-In DVD Storage $39 Click for more info

If you are a mobile executive on a Mac and would like to take along your DVD collection, there is a solution in the program Drive-In DVD storage.

Before going into what Drive-In is, it's important to know what it's not.

• Drive-In is NOT a DVD "ripper."

• Drive-In does not remove the original disc's content protection.

• It does not omit or remove the disc's navigation menus or special features.

• Additionally, Drive-In does not re-encode the picture or sound track, which always leads to a loss in quality. So, you won't be able to take DVD's you rent from Netflix (NFLX Quote) and then load them onto your Mac.

How Drive-In works is really pretty easy. What you are doing is making an exact copy, including the cover art and all the extras, from a DVD that you have purchased.

You take your DVD and put it into your computer and then enter in the UPC barcode on the back of your DVD case. This will then download all the cover art and info from your DVD.

So, after going through a couple more steps, you are then able to copy your DVD directly to your hard drive on your Mac. Once loaded, you can view the DVD on your Mac in Apple's (AAPL Quote) DVD Player or Front Row. So, if you've got a pretty decent hard drive, you can load a number of DVDs to view on the road and not have to carry the individual cases.
