The problem is that many of the DVDs I own are from different regions, plus they are copy protected, which means I can't just copy them to my hard drive.

As such, I'd like to convert my DVDs into AVI or MP4 (for example) so I can watch my favorite media on the go.

I plan on purchasing a thin ultrabook laptop (with no DVD player) soon. As such, Microsoft has dropped all support for Windows 10 DVD playback in Windows Media Player. I researched this issue and it appears that this 'feature' was removed on purpose because newer PCs and laptops do not have DVD players. In Windows 7 it worked without a problem. I just upgraded my PC to Windows 10 and I noticed that Windows Media Player no longer plays DVDs in Windows 10.
