Jellyfin newbie (lemmy.world)

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.

AnyDVD has gone for months and Handbrake is much more complicated if you need to decrypt your dvds. I think DVDFab DVD Ripper is a good choice for you to back up DVDs. It supports a wide range of output formats, offers tools to remove region codes or other restrictions. And since you’re using Jellyfin, you can configure the output format (e.g., H.264 or H.265) to maximize compatibility and efficiency.
