Your thoughts Hard drive or DVD Disc?

[baritony]

I am going to be on a plane soon for 5 hours. I wish to watch some movies onthe flight.

Which way do you think would use less battery power?.........

Watching them from the Hard Drive or from the Disc itself?

On every plane I've been on recently (European and American airlines), they have specifically told passengers that they may not use CD drives on the plane. I have asked and been told that using a laptop isn't a problem as long as you are not using the CD drive. Using a CD Walkman is also a big no-no. During one flight I was on (London - Orlando American Airlines), an announcement was made that cockpit equipment had detected that a CD drive was being used on the plane and requested whoever was using it to switch it off.

Looks like it's got to be hard drive.
