Question: How do I watch DVDs on my Chromebook ? The DVDs I need to rip are the Calculus 3 Advanced tutor from learning by example. I need to rip them to SD cards so I can watch them on my Chromebook. Is this steps right? And which DVD ripper is easy-to-use? Please also show me how, many thanks!!!
Answer: While it is possible to connect an external USB DVD drive to a Chromebook, you can not currently watch DVD movies with Chrome OS. Unlike simple movie file formats that you might find online, playback of DVD Video requires special decoding software and codecs to work. Google has not licensed this software and included it with Chrome OS, although, it should be possible for third party companies to write DVD video player software for Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. Considering that no Chrome OS devices ship with DVD hardware, it is unlikely that Google will license DVD Video software and include it in Chrome OS.
