USB Blu-ray is how I got my media library… totally…
Someone else's DVD drive
No lie, a large amount of my digital media was pulled from physical disks.
I set up a system with a ton of space and two optical drives and just cycled through, disk after disk, pulling the content off. Once I had it, I ran it through handbrake and converted it to H.264 (AVC/AAC), and then put all the disks away and forgot about them.
ISO gang here. Give me pure, unadulterated bit streams with menu-y goodness. I got the space available
I use a private streaming application. I don't want to say which one, but popular examples include Plex, jellyfin, emby, and Kodi.
It's not really compatible with the DVD menu systems, though, that would be really fun if it was.
Version 1.0 released in 2016. I'm pretty sure my process pre-dates this tool.
Looks good, but my collection is already ripped and converted, so I don't have a need for it anymore.
I'll keep this in my pack pocket if I happen to ever buy physical media again.
