Cappers I NEED HELP/TUTORIAL on How To Rip From Hotel VOD

[sammyboblammy]

Ahoy to all my fellows out in the world. I am looking for advice and ideas from anyone who has experience ripping video from a hotel VOD system. I am traveling in a couple weeks and staying at a hotel with the in room theater VOD system and know that on this system there are in cinema releases as well as videos not yet on DVD. I have been capping for years from DVD so I have those tools but I do no know how to capture the movie stream from the hotel. My first thought was to use my hd camera and a tripod to film it from a few feet away while also capturing the audio through audio outputs but that will only work if there are any outputs. Well, anyway, I do not know what kind of software, hardware, or cords I will need to do this. Shit, I don't even know if people do this besides a conversation I had with a fellow pirate a couple years ago about how he got a source from a guy who checked into a hotel and got all the movies from the machine. I am not looking to get all of them, just the few I purchase. Please provide me with any assistance.

A little risky, don't you think?

are you referring to the process or the post?

also if I pay almost $20 for the film I would like to watch it again sometime.

well the OP does have valid point problem is the only way I can think of doing it is a reroute from the TV to a computer and have a screen capture setup to record the audio and video thats the only thing I've thought up sense you originally posted it... srry i couldn't of been of better help.

The process, sorry.

Even if you have legitimate reasons and make use of fair use laws, the MAFIAA/DRM makers will cut corners and still try to make your life a living Hell.

you are right Robert that the juice isn't quite worth the squeeze, is it? shame. I might have to try what ddoking007 says though just to see if the process is difficult or not. I will have to look into what TV's the hotel has.

Thanks to all for the assistance and help.
