DVD movies are usually only a few gigabytes, but Blu-Ray movies can easily take up 20-60GB of space. You'll also need a fair amount of disk space, since the ripping process involves dumping the contents of a disc onto your PC. I use the ~$50 LG WH14NS40 for both DVDs and Blu-Rays, and it generally works well, but it's an internal drive that only works on desktops with a spare SATA slot. Blu-ray drives (which can also read all DVDs) are still significantly more expensive than DVD drives, especially external USB models - the Pioneer BDR-XD07B is a popular option for ripping, but it costs around $100. Not all drives are created equal for ripping, but the ASUS ZenDrive Silver is a great (and affordable) option for DVDs. If your PC already has a drive, or if you have an external DVD/Blu-Ray drive collecting dust in a closet or drawer, you're already one step ahead!

In a world of dozens of different streaming services from every media company, Google TV can help you wrangle it all.Physical media has its time and its place, but in the era of ultra-fast home Wi-Fi and high-res smartphones and tablets, a Blu-Ray or DVD basically makes no sense for a lot of the ways we now consume content. However, if you subscribe to multiple streaming services, Google TV can be a very handy companion. If that’s all you want it to be, you don’t have to use any of the new features. It’s still the place to buy and rent movies and TV shows, and it still includes your library of purchased content. In short, the Google Play Movies & TV app has grown up. Watchlist on the Google TV home screen Google The Watchlist integrates with the home screen, making it even easier to keep track of your favorite movies and TV shows, and watch them on the big screen. The Google TV app gets even more powerful if you have the Chromecast with Google TV or an updated Android TV device. This integrates with the “Watchlist” tab in the Google TV app, so you can easily find them to watch later on. When you search for a TV show or movie on Google, you’ll see a “Watchlist” button in the information box. Another part of the upgraded experience is the “Watchlist” feature.
