transferring movies from dvd to external drive to view on notebook (no dvd/cd slot)

[hwil]

My husband travels to a lot of areas that don't have Wi-Fi and internet access.

How do I record our store-purchased HD movies onto an external drive so he can view them on his computer? He only has USB ports, including a USB 3.

I can transfer from DVD to the external drive, but I don't know what type of software to use, or what type of external SSD hard drive to buy. Would he need special software to watch on his notebook?

ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is basically illegal to copy from a dvd to local storage, even if you own the dvd. In thoery you do not own the video rights thus making it illegal.

Because so we can not provide suggestions for illegal actions.
