Let's say I own the box set of TV's most criminally canceled show

Let's say I own the box set of TV's most criminally canceled show Let's say I own the box set of TV's most criminally canceled show, "Firefly." Now whenever let's say I want to watch some episodes on my iPhone. Or iPad. Or even just my laptop. Do I really have to spend more money to buy or rent them from Amazon or iTunes?

Not if I have a good DVD ripper, which copies movies and TV shows from the discs I already own and converts them to other formats (like, say, iPhone-friendly MP4).

Rippers often sell for $30, $40, or even more--but I have a pair you can have absolutely free, no strings attached.

The first is Digiarty MacX DVD Ripper Pro, which, its name not withstanding, is also available for Windows. If you go for the Mac version, you'll need an activation code (BD-TGTXUVYO-OONQRP). The Windows whenever version's activation code can be found in a text file included with the download.
