Hi,
I want to digitize my DVD collection so that I can take it with me when I travel on an external hard drive instead of bringing DVDs everywhere. Is there an app that is accessible that will let me do this? I have a M1 MacBook Air with 8GB of ram and 256GB storage.
Hope someone can help,
Shannon

I'm also interested in the same. Otherwise if you have a Windows computer laying around it is pretty easy to do it natively.
Going back a bit but.
I hope it’s still just as accessible as it was years ago but Handbrake was always perfectly usable with VO. It’s very customisable too. Good luck.
Handbrake
As I know, Handbrake is accessible but DVDs have DRM protection and handbrake can not breakthrough the DRM. Any suggestion?
makemkv
The program makemkv works to get a drm free mkv file of a dvd, and handhrake can be used to convert it down if the file size of the mkv is too big; usually around 7-9 gb for a dvd, 30-40gb for a blu-ray.
The GUI for makeMKV didn't used to be accessible, but I'm pretty sure there have been improvements. If not, the command line version still exists and is accessible because it's a command line program, although less is able to be controled I think.
From memory, I think
VLC also works to strip out the DRM, so that handbrake is able to do its stuff.
yes
Yes it does do this.
