IMO the definitive movie on he subject...BUT, it is rated R for nudity, sexual situations and (I guess) language... “Network” Brilliant commentary on the media and society in general.

All three show possible impacts of technology on the world and people living in it. Hackers is pretty old(1986, I think), but if you search "Hackers - Angelina Jolie" you'll find it easily.

All through the movie people laughed, clapped, cheered and hissed (at Darth Vader, of course!). Close to the end, when Han Solo came along and blew away the fighters so Luke could take his shot at the Death Star, people were jumping out of their seats cheering, clapping and almost dancing with delight. George Lucas revolutionized sci-fi movies forever. It was no longer enough to just have a (not very) believable Creature From the Stars who came to wreak havoc. Suddenly sci-fi movies had to work as real movies--a plot that wasn't immediately obvious, characters you cared about, situations you could imagine as real. Quite an achievement, and a darned good movie to boot! We saw this in a big, fancy theater in Chicago that probably seated 500 people or so (I really don't know how many, but it was BIG). I remember that when the movie ended and everyone got up to leave, the ushers had a hard time herding us all out because people were standing around in groups, strangers-now-friends recounting their favorite scenes and bits of dialogue. It was one of those instant-bonding experiences, never to be forgotten. This was such an amazing movie experience–I don’t think there were ever sci-fi movies so good before this came along.

You cam use it to rip non copywrite protected DVDs and can save them in any format. The second way is from VCR to pc. There are special cards made (google pinnacle studios). That add plugs to the back of the pc to plug the VCR into. then you play the video while the program that came with the pc card records it. You can then save to whatever format you want.

You couldn't help but feel such emotion at the end of this movie. It was based on the real life story of Chris Gardner... "Will Smith (in an Oscar-nominated role) and his real-life son Jaden star in this tearjerker about a struggling single parent determined to build a better life for himself and his child. Chris Gardner is smart and talented, but his dead-end salesman job barely pays the bills. When he and his 5-year-old son are evicted from their apartment, they face trying times as Chris takes on an unpaid internship at a stock brokerage firm with hopes of getting rich someday." You just feel so bad for the character and his son throughout the whole movie, but feel his determination as well. You just feel so proud of him in the end...Great movie! at the end of Pursuit of Happyness (I know, I know, that’s how they spelled it…there’s a joke in the movie about the misspelling)…

Google a search of DVD ripping programs. I am sure there are plenty. On Windows you have to buy or install a program to rip DVDs to the PC. Google a search of DVD ripping programs.
