I have close to 500-1000 dvd's and don't want to rip individually each dvd to the WHS.
Is there a place I can get the highest quality rip for the same titles i CURRENTLY OWN?
ONLY WANT TO BUY RIPPED VERSIONS OF THE DVD'S I OWN.

Nm, go right ahead.

Its still gonna get locked even if you say you own them. I couldn't even have a bit torrent thread when I was actually trying to download a Linux distro.

The real trick is get it setup where you can just put the disc in, close it, and walk away. Every time you pass by the computer, put a new disc in. In a few months, you'll have them all ripped.

In reality how long does it take to RIP a DVD?

Back when I was er...backing up all my movies I used dvd decryptor and dvd shrink. Seemed like it took a little over an hour per DVD.

You can rip them to ISOs while you're awake, then do the actual ripping at night when you're asleep.
 
I say to try bittorrent (which to get full DVD copies is usually 4-9GB and would take forever to download) or just suck it up and spend hours on end day to day copying on your computer. Might take a month or so but it would be worth it.

Just get some free DVD ripper off of Google just copy walk away come back insert new DVD copy walk away and so on and so forth.

Crappy, lossy, illegal copies.

Well if you're using dl disks you can skip the dvd shrink stage I would guess, and the drive I was using wasn't all that great. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if you could do one in 20-30 minutes start to finish now.
 
Just ripping them yourself wouldn't take too long, but the space requirements for that number of DVDs would be enormous. Compressing would reduce the space needed, but adds time to the process.
 
Yeah space would be an issue. However, seeing as how 1TB drives are now well below $100...even at 1000 DVD's you're talking about maybe 6 x 1TB drives. I mean, it's still $500-600 but considering if he wanted to do this a few years ago it would cost 10x as much!

Considering he's willing to buy the ripped DVDs it shouldn't be a problem.
 
Proving... I can cut the UPC from the boxes?
Look there has to be a place that sell already digitised forms of the DVD? Itunes... but I'm not paying $15-20 for the same dvd I already own and the quality won't be the same.. although not bad.
