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!
Yeah I miss DVD bonuses like directors commentary, cut scenes, bloopers and alternate scenes.
How would one handle those extra scenes though, in storage as well as in a Jellyfin library?
Plex handles it like this:
Local extras can be located alongside the main movie file in a directory named for the movie. They’re indicated by using specific naming at the end of the filename. Local inline extras will be detected and used if named and stored as follows: * `Movies/MovieName (Release Date)/Descriptive_Name-Extra_Type.ext` Where `-Extra_Type` is one of: * -behindthescenes * -deleted * -featurette * -interview * -scene * -short * -trailer * -otherhttps://support.plex.tv/articles/local-files-for-trailers-and-extras/
Jellyfin might do the same
If you rip the DVD as a movie could you have directors commentary as a audio track?
What about the extras as a season? Or single merged movie with chapters?
Fantastic question
