Read thread much?

A thread about DVD storing facilities didn't interest me much. I just saw it as an opportunity for a funny.

Takes a while doesnt it . . . Ive just got all the andromeda to rip, and that and the A-Team to encode to h.264. Its taken me 3 months to do 300 films and many many box sets.

I'm not encoding them as I want to use vista media centre so it's cost of hard drives. Reckon I will need around 5GB of storage.

How long it take to do a film, generally?

Tempted to attempt to rip all mine at some stage, get a couple externals for them.

I queue them up on my WHS and it takes roughly the same time to encode to mp4 h.264 as it does to watch them. At rougly 1gb/hour of footage. Im currently at 1.2Tb of dvd's . . . And they are duplicated in WHS (It now has 4.5Tb of space. . . plenty of redundancy/room for expansion)

Even if he put all his DVDs onto hard drive, he'd still have to phyiscally store them.

yeah but he could stick em in a box and shove them in the attic.

A big cardboard box at the moment, I don't have the space in my room to do anything else and there's not enough proper storage in the flat for them.
