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.

Ok, I will give Handbrake a try. The only other question then is how it deals with copy protection on prerecorded movies. Or, is there a digital movie store where I can download them before transferring them to a 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.

The Tab 2.0 7 has a SD card slot so the cheapest way would be to copy some digital movies onto an SD card and play them from there.

There's also wireless thumbdrives like this: Sandisk 32GB Wireless Flashdrive

If you want something with more storage space there are wireless hard drives like this: Seagate Wireless HDD
