MKZ-ing

Suppose you're planning a trip to Turkey that's going to entail a couple 10+ hour flights.  And suppose you want to take some DVDs with you to watch on the plane.  And suppose you want to watch them on the Nexus 7 tablet that your wonderful son-in-law gave you recently rather than on an enormous, heavy laptop.

Problem:  The Nexus doesn't have a DVD drive.

Solution: In the weeks leading up to departure, install "Freemake Video Converter" on your PC and use it to convert that stack of DVD's into .MKZ files.  Then transfer the MKZ files from you PC to the Nexus.  

Voila!   Problem solved (as long as you remember to also install a "VLC media player" on the Nexus).
