This will enable you to rip most (possibly all) discs as long as you keep it updated. MakeMKV is free to use while it is still a beta program, but once finalised it will be chargeable for BluRay, but still free for DVD. With the likes of MakeMKV you can remove a lot of unwanted extras to save a fair bit of space without any loss of picture or sound quality as it does not compress the media. I'm sure I have more concerns too but it would be good if someone who knows about this stuff, not a complete noob like myself, would be able to shed a bit of light on the above and the best approach to this?Ī full DVD rip will average approx 6Gb, a BluRay approx 30 - 40Gb Ripping Software (heard Handbrake is good).Good foreign films with English subtitles.Copy Protection - Getting half way through my collection and finding out that my favourite movie doesn't rip!.Data Storage - would take a few terrabytes at least, by my reckoning.Although it's nice to look at, it's a pain! Is it worth it? I have over 1,000 and it'll take a while but it will free up so much space taken up by my physical collection. However, more and more I think about it, the more I'm thinking that it may be a good idea to convert my movies and TV shows too. I've spent the past 12 months ripping a lot of my music collection to FLAC and am very pleased with the results, soon I'll be able to banish my physical collection to the attic! Great!
