Have downloaded The Killing off of Amazon using AnyStream. The Killing is ad supported from IMDBTV and from what I can tell, Anystream has removed Advertisements, however, I want to store the files on Disc and software will not allow it.
I have been able to burn to disc other programming, however not "The Killing" Is this some protection scheme not being removed on these files. Attached is the download log for the first episode of the show.
Hi
DriverJ,
There was a time when I use to make disc-to-disc copies of just about every single DVD and then Blu-ray I owned. I realized early on that the life span of these discs are unpredictable and started seeing read errors on my disc player. I checked all 2,300+ discs I had copies of (Case logic cases that hold 230 discs each). I had over ten of them full along with an Excel tracker so that I could locate them easily).
Fast forward a bit...
I then started using 500 GB hard drives (internal ones; largest available at that time) and backed up my originals to those instead.
I used a hard drive dock connected to my Theater PC (desktop) and when I loaded a new hard drive, it was like loading nearly 100 DVD movies at the same time. I made sure I combined my movie collections together so I didn't have to swap drives if binge watching Die Hard for example.
Long story short...
I would highly advise against looking to optical media as a storage solution. You can get external SSD drives rather cheap now and can store many movies on their in MP4 or MKV which is highly compatible with a variety of devices such as Blu-ray players, TV's, and in some cases Routers - although that experiment didn't play out well for me.
I use a NAS and run my media through Plex or Infuse from my AppleTV 4K. For traveling purposes, I have a decent library of movies that I'm likely to watch while traveling or out in the field. I use the
Disc-to-Digital program via
VUDU. I tend to only invest in the titles that have
Movies Anywhere available, although I have some that are not so I can only watch those in VUDU.
The moral of the story here is that I think investing time and money in an optical media solution is not the best solution for you. Use Solid State storage instead or invest in a NAS (Network Attached Storage) solution within your budget of course.
