Got it down to ~10 min per disc @ 1:1 quality with #MakeMKV

quoting nevent1q…0886

Archiving Osho's (nearly) complete video discourses — 1300+ DVDs, spanning over 35 years — into 1:1 quality digital file format. It's currently taking ~3 hrs per disc.

I have one of the largest original high-quality collections of #Osho on video you'll find anywhere... and growing. Doing my part to futureproof the archive for future generations. 🙏💜

**Got DVDs or Blu-ray Discs? Backup to Digital Files Without Re-encoding or Losing Quality**

Check out #MakeMKV. It's pretty awesome.

MakeMKV is your one-click solution to convert video that you own into free and patents-unencumbered format that can be played everywhere.

MakeMKV is a format converter, otherwise called "transcoder". It converts the video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way.

The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters. There are many players that can play MKV files nearly on all platforms, and there are tools to convert MKV files to many formats, including DVD and Blu-ray discs.

Additionally MakeMKV can instantly stream decrypted video without intermediate conversion to wide range of players, so you may watch Blu-ray and DVD discs with your favorite player on your favorite OS or on your favorite device.

If you're running Linux and want an easy install,
I recommend using snap (yes it's up to date).

https://snapcraft.io/install/makemkv/fedora

The app will ask you for a registration key. All features are free while it's still in beta.

The current beta key is:

````T-WaI15n3jLrzWU88y7liOljd7UIR0mormcZo2oO5xt_9CSj3Mg6mOxR1eUvU_CA569e````

This key is good until the end of this month
(October).

Check back for an updated key on this page.
