Pay attention boys and girls, this is also what they want to do with over the air broadcasts with the ATSC 3.0 format.

Something that can't be taken away from you by the whims of an artist, studio, or streaming service. Something you can re-rip as audio codexes change.
Would that work for Blu-ray? I'm guessing not.
MakeMKV to rip them from disc. Handbrake if you need to compress them.
Half? That's optimistic.
No, it's because they are a trillion dollar conglomerate that PAYS.
You have to remember the shareholder mentality: If you're not growing by 20% forever, you're losing money.
Use MakeMKV to actually copy the DVD. Handbrake if you want to transform it to another format/resolution to save disk space.
Honestly, with the Handbrake process so time consuming, I've started ripping with MakeMKV then no further compression.
Right now, disk is relatively cheap.

For a day I got the no video but audio playing ads.
On my Shield where I don't have uBlock Origin, I get bombarded with ads.
So broadcast TV currently broadcasts on ATSC 1.0. You get an antenna and a box or TV that has a digital tuner and you're good. Industry is pushing for ATSC 3.0, which allows for DRM. So even though they are broadcasting on the public airwaves, they can decide you can't watch. It sets up the local broadcasters to be the new cable with ever increasing prices AND play king maker on devices by choosing which can and cannot produce tuners. In my area, 5 channels have ATSC 3.0, and 1 of them turned on DRM. Meaning I can't watch it because HDHomeRun devices aren't approved, likely because it has the ability to record. Luckily, that channel still broadcasts in ATSC 1.0, so I can still watch it for now. 3.0 isn't a fully adopted yet, but that can change in the future (2027?).
