Yeah, my new lappy has a DVD burner drive.  I run Ubuntu Hardy and I've got
the normal burner tools associated with that plus DVD-rip; I also have a
cell-signal modem so if we need to apt-get some other tool that's no sweat.

I'll also bring some blank DVDs in case yours choke :).

Also, if you have any hard drive you want stuff dumped to, I carry an
adapter that lets me connect any hard disk (SATA, IDE or laptop-size IDE) to
a USB port.  So you can bring in a drive, I can hook it up and grab images
right off DVD and onto your hard disk.  I have enough CPU power to rip DVDs
straight to AVI or whatever in fairly short order if you want to do data
files rather than disk images.
