Media Library β Digitizing your DVDs & Blu-rays (Part 3)
Part 1 and Part 2. This is Part 3 and looks to be the last part unless I go with a Media server at a later date. I might be doing something wrong because the intro page that lists whatβs on a DVD or Blu-ray isnβt being cloned in the MP4βs (??). Nor are the normal advertising and warnings being transferred, which is great. πππ Other than those issues, I am getting what seems to be the same quality as on the original DVDs and Blu-rays.
Media Library β Digitizing your DVDs & Blu-rays (Part 2)
Looks like this series will be in 3-parts initially, i.e., it may restart if I decide later to go with a Media server. Here is Part 1. Am a novice at this digitizing a Media Library, so my method is for those with low budgets and no experience either. π
Total costs at this point are $189.63 including tax and free shipping. The external Blu-ray burner drive was 42.69, and EaseFab LosslessCopy software was $39.95 on sale for 1-PC. After research, I purchased a Seagate FireCuda ST4000DX005 4TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal HDD Bare Drive for $106.99 last night β settled on this HDD after considering reliability, 7200 RPM speed, 3/5 warranty, and costs (there were cheaper & more expensive ones).
I already had some devices/componentsβwhich saved on my costs, but you may have to buy more items than listed above:

Media Library Digitizing Test β Total novice here, so there is probably an easier and quicker way than how I am doing it at this point. Still not sure if I will go to digital movies & series since it seems to require lots of time. Movies have been easy so far, but next test will involve digitizing a series like Game of Thrones or Justified or maybe Dark Winds since it is short. Series requires its name plus season plus multiple disks (1, 2, etc.) β so that test may be too much trouble…I just dunno. Total costs at this point are about $80 for Blu-ray drive and EaseFab software.
Twitter is officially X.com
Opened X this morning and a notification at page bottom informed me that their URL has changed. πππ
My main browser is Firefox and the old Twitter bird was still the logo in the Bookmark, tho most of my other browsers had the X logo.
Now, even Firefox has the new X logo!
