• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Movies to watch when flying?

I've got a 9-10 hour flight in a few days. I'm hoping to watch some movies on the plane. I don't have an optical drive or any way to watch stuff on disc. I'm a Netflix user, but of course, you need to be connected for that to work.

Are there any "download and watch once" movie options available (i.e. options that that do not require an active net connection or physical media)? I'm willing to pay $5/each for 2 movies to watch, but I don't want any kind of long-term commitment.

FWIW, my flight is from Germany to Alaska. There are movies on the plane, but the ones on the way here sucked - I assume the ones on the return flight will not be any better.
