How to convert 1000 DVD's to Digital?


I've got maybe 200 BR's and 800 regular DVD's and they take up a lot of room. Is there any easy way to convert them to digital without having to buy a million tera quads of storage space on a hard drive? I'd prefer not to upload to the cloud.

You can't have this.

you either need to physical storage or the cloud storage. You can't get rid of the clutter of physical AND have a small size AND not use the cloud.

Buy a good quality DVD binder case.

Depending on how many you have in average if you have the time 200 DVD's (Full Quality Rip) will take 1.6 terabytes of storage which is basically one 2TB hard drive.

Issue here is the time needed for conversion.

DON'T buy ANY binder cases.

I did this for my DVD collection back in the early noughties when it was getting out of hand with the physical space, but it just caused many more problems, and it carried on with the Blu-rays.

Buying movies on Google Play and Amazon Prime has been the PERFECT SOLUTION for me, as it's all in the Cloud.

DVD is already digital. DVD stands for Digital Video Disc.

Handbrake is pretty good.
