    If laser disc taught us anything, even mastered optical media has a shelf life. The glue holding the layers together going to fail and those discs are going to be worthless… My discs are going to be worthless

      This will help you digitize all of em easily. All you need is a pc with a disc drive and enough IT-confidence to manage setting up the server. (I do recommend docker)

      When its all setup you simply put in a dvd, you wait, it automatically ejects and you swap it for the next one.

      output the files to a jellyfin server and watch them from basically any device with zero hassle.
