700 per day. About 30 per hour. Each DVD is what, 4gbytes? Maybe 10 laptops with SSD drives or external hard drives would be enough. And lots of caffeine!

- marak830 8y agoSurely that could be pumped up, write a script to auto-grab the video files, rename them to $dvd_name(n) and place in folder. Deal with combining those files later(when you have more time). Note:it's been a looking time since I have tried to pull DVD files, but if my (rusty) memory serves certain types of DVD readers will just let you copy the vob.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoYou’d want a block level image of the DVD for archival purposes, such as an ISO or BIN format. Using dd (Linux) or Disk Utility (Mac) makes this straightforward.
- cookiecaper 8y agoThough it's probably not the case here, there are some discs with copy protection that specifically trips up block-level copies. The drive will continually error and misread sectors. I'm not sure what open-source tooling can be used to circumvent; I always end up falling back to AnyDVD.

- seltzered_ 8y agohttps://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-rippi... can be modified fairly easily to just copy the disc image and not attempt any encoding.
- userbinator 8y agoMore granularly, about 2 minutes per disc. A 20x drive can read one disc in around 3 minutes, so a few of those running in parallel should be enough. (This is supposing all the discs can be read at full speed, which is not necessarily the case in reality; but increasing the parallelism to compensate can be done easily.)
