You know the concept of roms if you have the oridinal cart/tape/cd etc... you are allowed to legally own the rom. Is it the same for the movies you put on the gp32?
 
yea sure it is. it is legal because you own the license so you can convert it to every format you want.
 
It depends on the country, I'm sure. In the United States, it's illegal to copy anything
 
In the Netherlands, if you own the legal version (DVD, PS2 game, CD or whatever) you may backup it for your own use. One CD for at home and one back-up in the car for example. If you own a DVD, you may convert it for GpCinema, because you payed for the original.
 
in germany its legal to copy a music cd for up to 7 "friends"... dont know about movies...
 
also, in germany its not allowed to get around copy protecions. But its really true, you can brun a cd up to 7 times and give them to your friends. (same for DVD and VHS adn similar stuff)
 
i think it would be ok for personal use. like if you tape something off TV, as long as you dont sell it.

Also where do you get the converters???
if you mean something to get a dvd to your computer then seach on google for DVD dectrypter, it's a good free program. If you ment to get a movie to gpcinema then you need virtual dub, everything you need for encoding is on the tutorial for GP32emu.
 
huh?
it is legal to give media away as gift (of course without charging any money for it), but this means that you give them the original and destroy all your copies (since they arent legal anymore)
but since when are you allowed in germany to burn cds up to 7 times for friends, etc?
i definitifly am sure that you're not allowed to do such
you're allowed to take 1 copy of your media for back-up stuff only
but you're not allowed to do that if the media has any kind of copy protection
you're not allowed to get round that copy-protection
well, not that i really care about that ;)

but this is how it is as far as i know and i have never heard before about that 7copy-thing which sounds like that disclaimer found on many sites about internet privacy act, blah (that one is a F A K E)
