      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.

        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.

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