Movies on a Tablet

I have a Samsung Tab 2.0 7 Android tablet and would like to use it to watch movies. What is the best (cheapest) way to do this? I have slow Wi-Fi in this RV park for Internet access. I want to store them for watching later.
  • Not interested in illegal copying. Not that I am that moral or rich, just lazy. I will check into digital movie downloads from Google.
  • I use this program to rip DVDs: DVD Catalyst

    The author is very good at offering help when issues are encountered.

    You have hit a dead end asking that question here.
    It can be done but you will not get answers in this forum.
  • You can buy movies from Google Play and there is an option to download them to your device. I'm not sure however, if you can specify to download them to the SD card.

  • X 2 on Handbrake. I rip DVD's all the time for storage on the SD Card on my Android and Windows Tablets.

    I use Handbrake to convert my DVD's to MP4's. I can watch on my Samsung Galaxy Note, on my iPhone and even on my TV when put on a memory stick and plugged into the Blue-Ray player.

    On my tablet I have a 32Gb micro-sd card with about 20 or so movies on at any given time.
