Making DVDs user friendly
Making DVDs user friendly
02/01/2005 10:12 PMI have been messing around with a
similar conundrum. I have a PocketPC that I drag everywhere and just
got a 1Gb SDIO card that works with it. I found a product called
DVD2PPC which rips DVDs to WMV files compressed to the viewed on the
PocketPC. It works pretty well. Sometimes the audio track is off. But
for the most part it works. and I get 5-8 movies on my PPC.
I'll be that Apple is discussing with
studios about movie downloads. The iPod is the perfect platform for
this. My PocketPC plays video and it won't be long before iPods
do.
I guess I’m not
typical.
It’s rare for me to watch a DVD at home anymore.
If I’m watching TV, it’s a basketball game, something on
HDNet/Movies, or one of the HD channels, or something I Tivo’d.
Typically Dave Chappelle or Law & Order.
About the
only time I actually place an actual DVD into a DVD player is when
it’s for my daughter.
That’s not to say I
don’t want to watch DVDs, or I haven’t watched
DVD’s. I do, and I have.
I watched them in hotel
rooms on my PC. I’ve watched them on my PC when I’m
on a plane. Mostly, and I’m sure this was my fault for not
being careful, I watched half ‘till the end, the other
half until they stopped playing because of a scratch.
Is
there anything more irritating than a scratched DVD?
So I
thought I would do something about it. I have
already written about how I think hard drives will have a
significant part to play in how we experience and watch video content.
What I hadn’t done personally was take the time to convert
DVD’s I had PURCHASED to a format that could be easily stored on
my new remote control sized, 80gbs Firelight.
My plan was to
take the drive, stuff it with movies, and use it to launch movies I
could watch on the road.
What a pain in the ass.
I used
3 different rippers. All pretty much worked in realtime. Slow. Tedius.
Didn’t rip correctly every time. My dream of taking 20 or
so movies on the road with me died a sad death halfway through the
boredom of coming back and checking to see if Dodgeball was done.
Which leads to the “aren’t I the customer here
moment,” we all have.
Why isn’t an AVI, DIVX, WMV,
MOV or any format of computer usable video put on one of the
DVD’s ? Anything but those pain in the ass VOB files. Most
DVD’s have the less than 1gbs in space left.
It can be
copy protected for those studios with Piraphobia (fear of
piracy). I just need the ability to copy it 3 or 4 times
(don’t want to be left off when I put it on my new 250gbs
mobile drive next year ).
I would even pay a premium for
it…Put a sticker on the package saying this DVD has a format
compatible with PC hard drives.
Better yet, you could put it
online. Let me put my DVD in, it checks your website for
authenticity, I give you my demographic information, you let me
download a file I can put on my hard drive.
You win, the
customer wins and guess what? When it comes time to buy a DVD, and
it’s a toss up between the movie that makes it easy for me, the
customer, vs. the one who doesn’t care about me. Guess which one
I pick ?
If no one wants me as their customer, then I do more
of what I’m starting to do now. I take the movies and tv shows I
record from my computer based PVR and copy them to my little harddrive
(in minutes for everything), and watch them on the road instead of
buying your DVD’s.
Complications lose customers.
Simplification gets customers.

Sony's User-Friendly Copy Block. Extra crap on a CD does
not make up for the inconvenience of DRM. The fact that a Sony CD only
works with Sony portable music players is not like the iTunes Music
Store only working with the iPod, since people have expectations that
they can legally rip their legally-purchased CDs however they want.
Give me a CD or nothing.
