| MattButlerPhoto Photographer  Location United Kingdom West Yorkshire Bradford | Anyone ever loaded there dvds to an external harddrive? looking to save some space and buy an external harddrive and load all dvds onto it then pop them in the loft. Just a bit worried is technically very difficult? PS no piracy rants please. Im not planning on selling my dvds, only copying my legally bought dvds for my own usage. |

You can always strip out the Vob file of the main film and just back that up to DVD but again, most will be too big. Blu-Ray ? |

| Keltica Photographer Location United Kingdom Middlesex Twickenham | Oh yes, I suppose you have to get over the CSS encryption, Oh well just Google, although you would be better just to take the DVD's out of their case, put the case in the loft and put the DVD's into a plastic clam shell (see through). Just to mention that what you plan to do is technically illegal, just read the small print where it says copying, and that does mean copying, even though it's for yourself. |

| PeterH Photographer  Location United Kingdom South Yorkshire | I have all my music and video stored on an external HD, attached to my computer, and can access it all through the house on my iPhone, iPad, and TV via Apple TV, all wirelessly, via iTunes. It's quite easy to rip the dvd's using handbrake (free/multi platform) or iVI (mac only) iVI also finds and fills in the metadata for you. Once set up, its a simple matter of selecting what you want, and watching it in 1080p (assuming you have the equipment and source file to do so.) You can also watch different things on different devices at the same time, depending on your bandwidth at home. |

Exactly, you would be replacing with something less reliable. Perhaps a better way of saving space will be to put all the disks in a big wallet? |

On re-reading the op I noticed that but my previous post got posted twice and I could only delete one. |
