Putting a movie on a thumb drive?

[fivepaknh]

I just bought an HP Netbook Mini and the netbooks don't have disk drives. Is it possible to watch movies on a netbook. I was thinking that a dvd ripper could possibly do it, but which software would be the best for that? How much can a movie be compressed, and in what formats?

Sorry, we can't talk about rippers or ripping DVDs on this forum. Please see rule 19 (http://forum.digital-digest.com/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#19). http://www.digital-digest.com/~blutach/readrules.gif
