Ok, I have loads of DVD's and Blu-ray's that i would like to make digital copies of and stick on a network drive. Now I'm looking for some simple software that will do the job. Obviously the software would have to deal with copy protection. I don't mind buying it if it's good, as I have tried a free program and somehow only managed to get 3 minutes of video! Ease of use is key here so can anyone help?
 
I can't, however I am sure Heath and a few others will beable too. Good luck with that Wurzel
 
I can try.

I used to use one called DVDShrink. It was free, but don't know about now.

If you do want something a bit more advanced, I now use Handbrake for all sorts of video conversions. It's very in depth, but worth the effort.
 
When you do it will you wear the eye patch and be ready for Trading Standards?

Some American executive will cease and desist stroking themselves and put all that effort into trying to identify you mate.

Is it really worth it just because you don't want to get off your Wurzel and load a disc? :22:
 
What's the point? They are all online anyway. Throw your DVDs in the bin and just stream them when you want to watch them.
 
Yes it is worth it, because I want the ability to view my bought DVDs on various devices in various locations when I want. It is a copy of my bought films not pirated downloads or illegal streaming. I own in excess of over 130 concert DVD's so to have those on my NAS drive would be very useful. I use Google movies, Netflix, Amazon and Ultraviolet as well but this would add alot to my viewing options.
 
Vague memory back in 2015 the legality of copying for own use (certainly not sharing) was overturned in the high court mate, so it's illegal again - stupidly given you own it and have paid for it.

Maybe a quick question for Tubbz to be fair, I did a quick google to try and be helpful but just got results on legality rather than a good piece of software to do it.
 
Yes I'm aware that it is illegal, but I very much doubt anybody would take me to court for stuff I have already bought. Since that ruling it is now legal to do it in the USA, and Wallmart have even started a service doing it for their customers. I'm willing to take the risk.
 
No do agree mate, but would be remiss not to mention.

If Wallmart are doing a service, can you google what they are using as I would imagine the company preferred would promote themselves because of copyright protection etc even if it was something as vague as 'chosen by wallmart' on their website.

Might be a more direct way for you to get to the source so to speak that you know works 100%.

Don't know if that helps - vudu or something or other?
