Handbrake is an app that will rip DVDs to a file that you can then put on your phone, and it's available for Windows or MAC

Then on the main page after you've told it you want to rip the DVD, you go to "Presets" and choose one of the apple presets. The size of the video will be based on the resolution you choose.



instructions for the full process.

Sitting on an airplane, or a doctors office it will not work unless I spend a lot of money on their WiFi. I am not a fan of public WiFi as it is not real secure on a phone.

The old Mp4s I made years ago for my 5S will not play on the new phones, and I bet it is the digital rights protection.
Why would you stream it? Instructions above for ripping.
