Default Computer question (OT, of course)

A question for someone who knows...


I have a little over 1000 movies stored on DVD disks.
(It was a mad house when it was all VHS tapes!)
I'd like to have movies to watch at anchor aboard the boat.


It's partly a space issue.
And I don't want to take the disks out anyway.
So...


I checked at Fry's today.
750 Gig USB drive for just under $300.
That would hold about 100 movies.
(guessing an average of 7 Gig or so per title?)


But how to load them is the question...


"play" them on?
I can do this already - but the time factor is a bit
much at 1:1.


But I'm hoping to find some kind of special software to read
them on at much greater speed.


Anybody have a handy clue?


Thanks


Richard


I bought a bunch of soft zippered cases for $4 ea. that hold 50 dicks each.


Is having 50 dicks the norm in Cleveland? :-D
