Hi everyone!
I have around 200 DVD (with movies) that I’d want to backup in order to save them from rotting or physical media disappearance.
My most powerful computer with a DVD drive is a 2012 MacBook Pro upgraded to 16gb of Ram with an SSD running Fedora 42.
If possible, I’d want to keep all the bonuses of the movies, but I could also just backup the movies if keeping the whole disc is too difficult.
My goal would be to keep the original quality.
Also 6-7 discs are already skipping scenes even if the disc shows no damage.
I’ve bought some of these discs 20 years ago with my teenager pocket money so I wouldn’t want to lose them.
Thanks for the help.
As I own these discs and nothing would be illegal in my country, I thought it would be better to post here instead of the piracy community.
Edit: I guess I’ll use Make MKV Beta as it seems to work well and VLC can open the MKV files. Thanks for your help!
accept reality. just like vhs…all those formats die. and no one will ever look at the shit again. your future tv will be bazillion K resolution, have another aspect ratio and so on… and if you really ever want to watch that one movie again there’'ll be better ways and better copies of the movie somewhere. you are wasting energy, polluting the environment and overestimating the value of your past memories.
It might be your reality but it’s clearly not mine.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched Alien or Terminator.
So yes it’s true that I’m using Netflix more than my DVD’s, but I’ll watch a lot of these movies again for sure.
Also, despite the low resolution, DVD’s now have some kind of charm in their picture quality and it’s perfectly good enough for me.
But, of course, someone who doesn’t enjoy cinema the way I do shouldn’t be going through such a hassle.
