After years of ending up with empty DVD cases or DVDs rendered unusable from scratches, Ive decided to take my whole DVD collection digital. Well I guess digital isnt the correct word, since they are technically allready digital. But Im backing them all up onto a hard drive and streaming them to my pc when I want to watch them. The original disks will still sit up in the bookcase, but wont get all scratched up. In a sense they have now become the backup for my electronic copies. This is considered a grey legal area on whether you are allowed to do this, but since I own the originals and have them within 10 feet of the dvd player, I feel Im in the clear.
There are probably 10 different was to do this, but this is the way I am doing it.
This is a step by step tutorial if the conversion and the streaming.

Still watching movies
Ive been watching a bunch of blurays in the basement theater, quite a mix of titles, and enjoying every minute of it. More to come.. on recent events like the back yard movies weve been showing.
