      To be fair, if they are talking about digitizing your own library, yes, it can take a lot of time. When I attempted it, each DVD took about a half hour to 45 minutes to rip. I flat out didn’t have that kind of time with the size of my collection. It is way easier, although riskier, to download.

        Fun fact, in some countries like mine, downloading is completely legal, it’s the uploading back or seeding that’s illegal.

        I did it in a few weeks. I basically swapped discs while playing games, before going to work, before bed, etc. It was tedious, but I got them all.

        Now when I buy one, I’ll rip it first before watching.
