I’ve been buying DVDs and Blu Rays, then ripping to my NAS, and running Jellyfin to serve.

It’s really nice to be able to stream any of my DVDs or Blu Rays, to any screen, without having to actually having to hook up a player or find the specific disk.

How has your luck been on ripping them? I’ve taken a similar route but have mixed results on the ripping side of things. Different quality levels, more/less DRM to get around depending on the disk etc.

I've used Handbrake to digitally archive my collection with good results, once I settled on a container and codecs.

Other than scratches, I've never had a problem with DVDs, and I think there's been only a couple of Blu Rays have given me trouble.

I use MakeMKV to rip, and then Handbrake to encode at a standard quality level (resolution, frame rate, codec, bitrate, etc).
