  The more modern answer would be to download ahead of time.

    That assumes I'm departing from a house? This is my house.

      Yes, meant to add that if folks are misunderstanding, perhaps you could clarify. (But I was not yet awake.) From the text however, its not clear how often the kids are around. Maybe they could benefit from some downtime, maybe not. Maybe it is their link to school and would therefore be even... crucial. In absence of info people tend to speculate. ;-) Also, I have a stash of important movies that I keep for posterity. Even at a normal home with reliable internet. I don't want to pay for rental every single time, or have them go off streaming at random as they so often do. You'd be surprised what can fit on an SD card or micro usb flash these days.

        > its not clear how often the kids are around Deliberately so, this information is private and personal. Especially right now due to lockdowns in Australia.

        Sorry, not trying to pierce your privacy, it was merely a factor on the discussion. Also, I don't use twitter for various reasons, so couldn't read the blurb there.

How much dvd storage do you have in a van?
- est31 5y ago
  Enough to take one DVD with you plus a USB based drive. It's not that much space. And depending on your jurisdiction, it might even be legal to rip a DVD and take the ripped version with you for the trip on say a tablet's flash storage. No need for the internet.

    But why bother? Its easier to bring some internet.
