I hope you find what you're looking for. A low tech method might be using a VCR or dvr to record through your TV, linking with a micro HDMI to HDMI from your phone...
I appreciate your effort and I am resigned to just rip my dvds to portable format and throw them on my phone. This issue isn't that important, but thought with the advancement in technology as it is, that there was probably an app for that (which there is, but does not work for my purposes). It's only for a six hour flight anyway. well 12 counting round trip that is.
I guess I gave too broad a "name" to what I was looking for, and some people cannot comprehend by that description what it may be. I presumed that most people who are here knew what screen capture software for their computers was/is, not the same as print screen for same, so they would also recognize what I meant here for the phone. Thanks anyway
