Reddit is the current best thing that shows up in Google searches try looking up how to convert a dvd to mp4 you've got so much shite to shift thought before you get to a result that isn't just some company trying to sell their over priced shite

I'll save you the trouble. MakeMKV and ffmpeg

handbrake and anydvd has been my go-to tools in the past. But MakeMKV doesn't charge for dvd decryption? Have you tried it at blu-ray? I'm looking to backup our collection

BluRay works excellent, and if you unlock your drive via LibreDrive (also on makemkv's site) you can do discs from all regions and up to 4k.

I will buy foreign films off eBay and copy them into my media server. Also like to go to the library and find films that can be hard to obtain off Usenet or torrents

As for paying, it's actually free if you keep checking the beta form, and getting a new key. The keys last a few months

FYI, Duckduckgo uses the same syntax, e.g. "{keyword} site:reddit.com"

Download the movie faster and easier.

I do but a lot of rips online don't tend to have extras or other audio tracks
