DVD Storage

[Rod]

As part of the major redecorating scheme I've agreed to get rid of our DVD collection and my wife has agreed to loose some of her paperbacks too.
The DVDs were housed in this unit I'd made a few years back from Limed Oak:

I would like to copy them to a hard disc to play through a Plex system - can anybody recommend some suitable software please?

I use handbrake which is free, but there are others I want to look at too…

Are they not copy protected?

 

[Rod]

Yes but I think its ok to copy as long as you keep the discs - in the loft?

Yes it's legal so long as you retain the original and do not give out either copy to others for them to copy.

Roger - Yes most things have some kind of DRM but most of these software's contain libraries to 'crack' these...

Does that mean that if I have the original LP (vinyl) that it is OK for me to copy from the Web ?

 

[TrimTheKing]

Not sure of the details but I would think so yes. It allows for a personal backup so long as you retain the original.

Cheers

I've copied 800 plus so far - not all single DVD's as each episode of a box set counts as 1
My Grandson is copying another batch but his graphics card blew up so no idea what the final total will be? [emoji3]
HB managed all apart from about a dozen that it cannot rip.
Pretty impressive software and it's free.
