Hey guys, I have a bunch of DVD's and Bluray's which I've collected over the years because I really enjoy having physical media of the films I enjoy but recently I've created a NAS and I'm wanting to start digitising my movie collection. I tried using Handbrake to begin with because it's something I used many years ago for a college project, but it hasn't worked for some films due to licencing restriction, so I've moved on to using VLC to 'Convert/save' which has worked but it has definitely compressed the films visually and audibly. For example Skyfall on DVD is approximately 8GB but the VLC version is just over 1GB and it hasn't kept the 5.1 Dolby Digital audio. What I'm really wanting is a piece of software which will rip DVD's and Bluray's and keep them as close to the original as possible, is that possible with VLC or do I need to use another program? I appreciate there will be some compassion but I don't want it to be noticeable downgrade. I hope that all makes sense. Thanks in advance, Matt

Hello all, I have my computer with a bluray player connected to it by USB. I would like to share that resource over the network. I can share the bluray player as a storage device by doing the standard right click -> share. I even have it mapped on the other machines. However I can not read from it as if it were a bluray player. I have legit copies of powerdvd19 in order to play the blurays on both machines. They are able to see the files on the disk within the program, but acts as if it's a storage device. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi! Every old movie enthusiast loves his 5.25 optical drive. Do you know any side pannel tempered glass good airflow case which supports a 5.25 drive? My CoolerMaster HAF 912+ served me well but its time for a system upgrade.

It all happen when I got a new PSU. First I used HDD+SSD and it worked fine. Now my dad wanted to use DVD reader. So I changed the cable that come with the PSU written as peripheral it got 4 Sata but I use only 3. To plug them all in I have to moved my HDD tray up but I didn't made any physical damage here. Plugged it all in boot up my window from SSD. Windows didn't detected my hard drive but it detect my optical drive. I tried to test my DVD but the tray won't eject and the status light keep blinking then I smelled burning electronic. Quickly turned off my PC and unplug it then the smell is clearly coming out from the optical drive. I removed it and put it into the trash. Now after all that my PC won't detect my HDD ever again. I tried switching the cable that worked with SSD to the HDD but it still won't detect. Made sure that my HDD is only thing plugged in. No luck it not detecting it. I'm so confused. I don't have second PC to test if it actually my BIOS or not. All my Google search showed me that it could be wrong PSU cable. But no it the exact same head as the previous one I use. And if it will broke because of electric current why would SSD survive...? I'm stumped I have no idea what to do now... My PSU is Thermaltake Grand RGB 750w MB:Gigabyte B450m ds3h HDD: WD Blue 1TB OD: LG brand Could it be how I plugged my Sata cable here? (uploaded image) Blue one is the one that connect with optical drive the GPU is pushing it in a bit hard. Still doesn't explain HDD situation.

Hi there, I recently bought and put together my ryzen system but I am having an issue installing Windows 10 via Disc in my external DVD rom. The error says, "A media driver your computer needs is missing", then I have an option to browse for the driver or insert a flash drive with the driver. I have read that I need to try a different usb slot, I've tried all of them, then I dusted off my sata dvdrom and tried it in there and my problem persists. I have tried to insert my motherboard cd and look for drivers, I've installed all of the ones the installer detected. But still no luck. I've tried to unplug all of my other SATA drives apart from my SSD and cd rom. And I unplugged all USBs apart from my mouse and DVDROM This is annoying. Thankyou in advance.

So i had an old Buffalo HD-LBU3 external HDD adapter and decided to use it with a DVD drive due to my PC not being able to fit a optical drive in it. I was originally going to use it for watching old movies and some backwards compatibility with older hardware but it appears that the adapter still thinks its attached to a HDD and wants to initialize it. Any ideas on what I could do to fix this?

My DVD burner was always working perfectly until recently. Everytime I try burning data I get the same error as you can see on the screenshot below. Also i've noticed that I only get this error during the "verifying sectors" process, the burning process goes through without any problems. Any advice? DVD Burner Model : SAMSUNG DVD-RW SE-S084C

Hello, I have an album that has extra tracks on a bonus DVD. Is there a way to get to the songs off the DVD as a music file like .mp3 or .flac? The video is just the title of the song and I want to be able to play them as a normal track with the rest of the album.

I'm not sure this is exactly the right place to post this. I have an issue with my Advent 7035(Medion Mid2020) Laptop. Its a very old laptop. The DVD drive in the laptop failed so I bought a used one to replace it. I replaced it and the drive seems to receive power and spin up, however it is not detected in the bios and I cannot boot from it. The original non-working drive is detected. I have tested a drive from another laptop and it is not detected either. I have tested the replacement drive in this other laptop and it works. So it appears to be an issue with the Medion. Any suggestions on how to get it Working? -
Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place for this question but I have a very old compact disk with important video on it, however there are some black dots on it(see pic attach) and some video not playing. is there a solution for it to get as much of data as possible out of the cd as the whole video probably not gone on physical cd, as there are very few black dots on cd. so is there a software to get as much data as possible and Is there even a way to fix the physical cd itself

I'm looking to set up a HTPC for the family and want the smallest case possible that still allows for an external 5.25" bay. Any and all suggestions are welcome. I am not too familiar with the small form factor sector. Currently I have my eyes on the Silverstone ML03B case. What are some other cases that fit this criteria? Thanks. Build to include: Ryzen APU and 1 HDD. No need to account for the extra space of a GPU.

I am trying to disable my DVD ROM so that it does not pops up when I press its button. Tried to disable its driver but it still works and the only the change I see is that 'CD/DVD' partition gets removed. Anyway to fix it?

Hello. I have ripped some of my DVDs to MKV using MakeMKV. I want to keep the original DVD quality without compression. I've noticed that my .MKV files are interlaced with MPEG-2 video. I've noticed when I want to stream my DVD in Plex, I have to transcode to H.264. The question is, how can I convert & de-interlace my ripped DVDs into H.264 without quality loss? I want to keep the audio (Dolby Digital), subtitile tracks, and keep it in a MKV container. What should I do?

hi guys i having this weird issue where my DVD drive will just randomly not detected by bios.Yesterday is was working fine but after i just unplug the fan 4 pin plug to clean my fan it not detected. I tried update bios version,using cmos to reset, changing my sata cable with other device i have. Weirdly enough when i decided to plug back the sata cable that i though it failed works again.Then just yesterday it cant be detected again. So is it the sata port itself or the cable i really dont know how to answer that. I tried connect to my other sata port same issue i doubt both of my sata port will fail at the same time right ? my dvd works fine can open close normally just cannot be detected on my computer Anyone who know can tell me which is the root cause ? i was hoping is not the traces in the motherboard that crack causing this issue thx i also notice when i plug the suspended cable my computer will hang at the post screen for about 10 sec or so then it boot to window .When i remove it , it will boot normally (about 3 sec)

Hello, In need of a DVD authoring program, preferably one that is Mac compatible though it is not entirely necessary. All the lists I've seen are rather old. Anyone know of any that are relatively modern and 64Bit?

Hey everyone Introduction: Just recently I stwitched to a laptop without an optical drive and now I also downsized my desktop case and ditched the optical drives in the process. I've still got some relevant programs on DVD/CD like Microsoft Office 2010 (last one I owned without the stupid subscription system), Nero Burn Express 2 (does all I need it to do when I am burning music CDs for my car which only has a cd player ) and some old gaming gems like Empire Earth and DoW 40k. I borrowed an external optical drive to install some of those programs but I am looking for something faster, smaller, quieter and more durable then optical media. So my question is if and how one could backup all the optical media discs I've got lying around. First I tought about just copy pasting the contents or creating an .iso with my burn software but I am worried about copy protection beeing in the way for me doing that. Also with the programm I found I can only use the .iso to "burn" the image onto an usb drive using up all available space at once. This is (while still beeing preferable to the discs) not an ideal solution, as I would like to use one or two drives of higher capacity to store everything. And as a conseqence to the last thought, I was wondering if I could either have every programm on its own micro sd card or even better stash everything on an ssd or harddrive. So the issues I am not sure about is how to do it and if it is legally doable. In an age where devices with optical drives becoming fewer and fewer, this might be relevant for a broader audience. [tl;dr] I want to legally backup all my CDs/DVDs on a diffrent storage device. I am looking forward to a nice conversation even if it might be a tech noob question Also: If I posted in the wrong category I am really sorry but this seemed fitting, I used the search engine and didn't find anything that answered my question and english isn't my first language so feel free to correct me or ask me to clarify what I wanted to say Kindly Brutus -
Hello Everyone, My friend has a huge collection of DVD's that he would like to digitize so he can have easier access to them in his living room. We are thinking of possibly building a cheap ripping rig so he can just set it up and have it running and putting it all on a hard drive but I'm not sure which parts are essential and which we can cut back on to save money. so any tips on builds or better ways to go about this would be nice :D. Thanks a bunch, PS He's bought all the movies and this would be for his personal use not distribution. Too lazy to get up and change DVD's haha

Hi Let's say there are 3 computers connected to a LAN, PC #1 has a DVD drive, and PC #2 and #3 want to access that DVD drive. I'm currently using the default Windows sharing options and it works, the problem is I have to set the folder permissions and enable the share option every time a new DVD is loaded so I was looking for something to make that share permanent and avoid doing the config every time I insert a disc. Plus I'd like to know if there's a way to burn DVDs without having to switch the drive between computers every time someone wants to burn, with free software if it's possible... and "just buy 2 other drives" isn't possible right now. Thanks in advance

Hey there,I want to install Ubuntu on a PC: Intel Core 2 Duo-E8400 Intel DQ35JO 6 GB DDR2 Memory Windows 10 Pro is already installed (not by myself) But I have issues with installing Ubuntu: First, I tried Installing it from a USB thumb drive, but it didn't show up in the Boot Menu or BIOS (USB, Legacy USB, USB boot etc. are enabled). Than I tried installing it from a DVD, I burned it, but both of my DVD drives wouldn't open. So I tried a workaround by getting the power of another PC, I could open the drive and I selected the drive in the boot menu, but there was just a flashing underscore and Windows 10 booted like normal. I don't know what to do now, can someone help, please?
