I have looked but I am looking for the absolute basics such as minimum specs for a laptop to use almost exclusively for this purpose. Also I want to be able to rip dvds and blu rays from the UK and USA, will I need to buy 2 drives because of the drives maximum number of region changes? Is that still...

Is there a duffers guide for complete novices like myself?
I want to learn how to do this but to be honest it is very daunting.
Any help would be welcome, cheers.
Martin.
