That's fascinating, but not as disturbing as your signature.I've got 10 years worth of blu-rays to back up next. Thankfully that's not an extensive collection (lucky to buy 10 blu-rays a year if that!).
What sort of tech are you using for your backups? Are you converting the backups to anything or just storing the vobs?
Plex?DVD Fab to the rescue
I've been backing up my collection since 2006 (technically started my dvd collection in 1997!). This was a full scale operation (long story but I was backing up months worth of dvd purchases back in October last year.... had a hard drive failure which resulted in losing the progress I made. Thus while playing catch up and re-copying the same dvds, I decided to have a dvd clean out - which I generally do once or twice a year which led me to backing up my older dvd titles (some I never bothered to copy back in 2006).
I'm storing the vob's/file structures for now, but will convert them to .iso's and other video formats when I can be bothered in the future. In 2006 - 2010 I was just happy with backing them up to dvds (the dual layer blank dvds were not cheap back then!). I got a WDTV media device in 2010 which then led to me copying the purchased dvd to a hard drive, then converting the vob files to .iso format.
When I buy a new dvd I'll generally copy it to my computer with DVD Fab, then use dvdshrink (old school!!) to make the iso of the movie or tv show episodes. Then depending what else I want to watch the movie or tv series episode on (be it the PSP, or Samsung Tablet etc) I'll make different file formats to suit the device I'll watch the media on.
I replaced the WDTV Media Player with an NVidia Shield in December, the Shield is fantastic
Plex?
I got Nividia too
Do you have an add on keyboard or just remote?Just Kodi, I don't stream off the computer hard drive............. I've got a few external hdd's of all of my content. It's actually amusing to me that back when I first started doing this 250gb was the lowest hard drive size I could get. Now the lowest is 4TB (while the largest size I've seen is 10-12tb) - my mind is blown

Saw them in 2010 and thought they were awesome. Not sure if they would be the same without Glenn FreyGoing to see The Eagles tonight!
I have 1, 2017 Grand Final. That's it.I'm the proud owner of two dvds, The Band's Last Waltz and Priscilla.
Ive got no DVD player heaps of DVDs though
They were my first concert in 2004 as a 17 year old. I also saw them in 2010.Saw them in 2010 and thought they were awesome. Not sure if they would be the same without Glenn Frey

They were very good last night.
Deacon Frey sounds and looks exactly like Glenn.
Cool!
Ha - DvdShrink! I haven't used that for years!
Last lot of backups I did I was using an old version of DVD Decrypter. But Adobe bought that and promptly disappeared it years ago. So good to know about DVD Fab Thanks.
Having a networked media server is such a game changer when you've a big library like it sounds like you do. I have a Thecus running Plex and have the Plex client installed on my Samsung TV and iPad. It's awesome.
My next issue is that I have the '61 to '91 Hawk Premierships on VHS that I need to preserve. And of course I no longer have a VCR.
Anyway - thanks for letting me know about DVDFab - I've got a few DVDs that I never watch because physical media shits me. Could be time to back them up onto the Thecus!
Cheers
Vince Gill has also rejoined. He took the lead on a lot of songs Frey would sing. He was fantastic too.What's the makeup of the Eagles these days? I remember reading that some hatchets were buried...
...
I recommend just buying a Hawthorn premiership collection instead of converting from vhs to dvd or vhs to a hard drive .
