“I recently purchased the WD TV and have problem with playing my Amazon purchased DVD content on WDTV box. Now I’m looking for a fast and efficient way I can use to convert DVDs, usually from Amazon, to WDTV box hard drive so that I can transport a range of films to the RV to watch at weekends? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.”

AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1) MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9
