This is a very time consuming process so be prepare to spend oodles of time ripping your collection of DVDs. However, once done, you will reap the benefits of having these movies accessible on multiple devices. My advice is rip all your DVDs and Blu-rays and store all the resulting files on a NAS storage server. Get a NAS that has RAID1 to protect your investment from drive failure. Then buy another NAS (not necessarily with RAID1), store this NAS offsite, and sync the videos files over the Internet as new ones are created. A total investment of $500 and a lot of your time, but if you are a videophile, it's worth it. Of course, you can also store your home movies on the NAS, too, as well any computer files. It's simply a harddrive that is attached to your home network as opposed to an external harddrive that is attached to a particular computer. A NAS greatly enhances the storing and accessibility of your digital data.
