I just started setting up a Jellyfin server and am moving all of my old DVD backups off of an ancient NAS that doesn’t play well with modern TVs or Chromecast. Can’t cast half the videos anymore because crhomecast says F you to certain audio and video formats, but jellyfin has zero trouble talking to my TV. It was going so well that I thought I might try to back up some of the aging DVD/BluRays we have laying around because they don’t last forever and I’d hate to lose these titles. I used to use Handbrake/AnyDVD, but it seems AnyDVD is defunct these days… What are people using to back up their personal DVD collections these days? I prefer Windows apps, but I do have a good linux system that I can use to back them up with too, it’s just slower than my Win PC.

    Not sure what I did incorrectly, but that was the route I started on before looking for other ways to backup my collection… I dropped the libdvdcss in my Handbrake directory as was suggested on other sites, but Handbrake throws an error every time.

        I guess I could have included that. It’s just a generic muti-error output stating it couldn’t find any files or that the source may be copyright protected - something I figured libdvdcss was supposed to work around.
