I agree that storage wise it's not efficient, but we were looking for as-simple-as-possible. However I still use that method because once I've watched a movie, I can delete it right away and load up more. With a 500GB netbook I don't really need to worry about storage

Also... a fair amount of time is saved by not having to compress the movies.
