I just started setting up a Jellyfin server and am moving all of my old DVD backups off of an ancient NAS that doesn’t play well with modern TVs or Chromecast. Can’t cast half the videos anymore because crhomecast says F you to certain audio and video formats, but jellyfin has zero trouble talking to my TV. It was going so well that I thought I might try to back up some of the aging DVD/BluRays we have laying around because they don’t last forever and I’d hate to lose these titles. I used to use Handbrake/AnyDVD, but it seems AnyDVD is defunct these days… What are people using to back up their personal DVD collections these days? I prefer Windows apps, but I do have a good linux system that I can use to back them up with too, it’s just slower than my Win PC.
Hmm…gave that a try just now and it said the version was too old (? odd, it was the latest listed) and asked for a registration…
It’s in perpetual beta and is free as long as you don’t want to run multiple copies at a time. I had so many DVDs to rip I bought a license. It can also rip UHD Blu-rays if you have the correct drive. Not sure why it would say it’s too old, are your date settings in windows correct? The forum is filled with people doing exactly what you describe and is a great resource. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20579
I poked around and found the solution to the issue in the MakeMKV forums probably just as you posted this. Thank you.
Just an aside, but it may help others who have this issue to share the solution that worked for you
