RE: How to Create Your Own Digital Movie Library from DVDs and Blu-rays for Free! - Step-by-Step Guide (Free Software Series Part 3)
This is very thorough and well done!! I appreciate the information you've put together. I may have to look at converting some old DVDs this way.
Personally, I have moved away from hard copies of movies all together. The secondary market for movie codes is booking. I can buy a new release code for VUDU a week before it comes out in the stores for half the price or less than the physical disk is going to cost.
If I am willing to wait a couple of weeks, I can usually snag a movie for $4. Less popular titles for even less.
But there are some movies on my shelf that don't have a digital version, or I am unwilling to pay for one, so maybe I will have to rip them to my new old computer while it is mining. hahaha
I've noticed this trend, too. I've been able to snag several movies for cheap compared to how much it would cost to purchase the Blu-ray. Also, since I live in a college town, people sell DVDs and Blu-rays cheap all the time, so I've been able to increase my library that way.
It's very nice to be able to watch the movies without an Internet connection, though. I think that's the main reason I still like to rip and convert the movies myself. Good luck if you ever get around to digitizing your library! Let me know if you need any help!
