Question for my nerdy mutuals:
Do you keep a digital backup library of your DVD or Bluray movies or shows?
If so, what do you use on Linux?
I've been using vlc but struggling with subpar quality, and lack of subtitle backups, any help or advice would be awesome!
So far, i've given VLC and Handbrake each a shot at ripping the same movie;
vlc spat out a very low resolution mp4 file with broken audio, Handbrake took 16 hours to pump out a 13.5 gb file with broken audio and artifacted to high hell and back.
So so far it aint going greeeeeat.
I'm giving MakeMKV a shot but i'm starting to feel my best bet may just be 'pirating' copies of what I already own that I want on my server...
I'm way too hard of hearing to not have subtitles available to me.
Weirdly enough, the most pain-free method i've experienced of makimg backups like this is with my jailbroken ps3 (which is currently missing both a controller and a disk drive)
@FOSSingularity umm. Is 'dd /dev/whatever > file.bvd' not good for some reasons?
