Hi everyone!

I have around 200 DVD (with movies) that I’d want to backup in order to save them from rotting or physical media disappearance.

My most powerful computer with a DVD drive is a 2012 MacBook Pro upgraded to 16gb of Ram with an SSD running Fedora 42.

If possible, I’d want to keep all the bonuses of the movies, but I could also just backup the movies if keeping the whole disc is too difficult.

My goal would be to keep the original quality.

Also 6-7 discs are already skipping scenes even if the disc shows no damage.

I’ve bought some of these discs 20 years ago with my teenager pocket money so I wouldn’t want to lose them.

Thanks for the help.

As I own these discs and nothing would be illegal in my country, I thought it would be better to post here instead of the piracy community.

Edit: I guess I’ll use Make MKV Beta as it seems to work well and VLC can open the MKV files. Thanks for your help!

    Sure. Are the labels human-readable? Otherwise I’d rather type it in while I’m in front of the computer anyways, with the new DVD in my hand. Rather than end up with a directory with 200 cryptic filenames… I meaan the interaction with changing the disks can’t be skipped anyway…
