My coworker has a western digital media player and an external harddrive. We were watching movies on the TV from his hard drive using the media player. He downloaded the movies. I was wondering if I can put my dvd movies on the hard drive so i can watch them on the TV? What programs do i use? what format do i need to convert it to? and what are the steps?

The WD can play MKV,MPG,AVI.

If you want to you can rip a DVD to the hard drive using the likes of DVDFab HD Decrypter.

The player will run the movie, but it doesn't recognize any DVD menu.

Since the WD can accept an external drive formatted as NTFS - the rule that says a single file cannot be larger than 4GB does not apply - so you could convert the movie to a single mpg file if required.

The WD doesn't play ISO image files.

How about the file size? I plan on buying a 1.0 or 1.5 TB hard drive. When i copy a movie.......i shrink it down to 4.7 GB to fit on a dvd-r. how many 4.7 GB movies will fir on a 1.0 TB drive? Can they be shrunk down more so that I can fit lots and lots of movies on the hard drive? i suppose this affects quality?
What would be the steps and settings when using DVDFab Decrypter?

1TB=1000GB?
1000÷4.7=212

Select 'Main Movie' in DVDFab.
Load the file into DVD Shrink and shrink it.
Save it to a new folder.
