After spending too much time and money on streaming services, DVDs have officially reentered my life.

I won’t shit on them, I’m happy they are realizing this themselves. Yes, I and many here may have realized this years ago, but I’m glad more and more people are starting to realize that streaming isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Kudos to them, and here’s to all of us finding something special in the bargain bins
Streaming is all its cracked upto be, just self contained within your own secure network and you hosting your own streaming service.
I’m right beside you.
It hurts my head to think of the 300+ DVDs that I ditched in 2004 when I moved far from home.
I started my new collection with the entire series of: MASH and Emergency!. Those 2 shows alone could entertain me forever.

For anyone interested Here is some free self hosted Software to automatically rip any dvd
I am using this to convert my families dvd collection to jellyfin. Its super easy once its setup and also fully legal.

Wait this is so cool! I was thinking about writing something along these lines.
So you can script both Handbrake and MakeMKV? I might write a script of my own if so.

With what i send you don’t even need to script anything (but you can, scripting is fun) all i needed to do was run it in a docker container on pc with disc drive.
I just slot the dvd in and it spits it out when its done. The container is setup so it outputs straight in my jellyfin library. The most difficult part, as usual was fiddling with the read write permission of that output folder.

Nice! I’ve been doing this manually on my machine, this is cool that it has a container!
