Products like this are aimed at radio and TV stations, publishing empires and educational institutions that needed – perhaps still need – to convert a lot of old discs into digital format. It uses a robot arm to pick up discs and drop them into a DVD tray. MF Digital’s Ripstation 7000 Series CD/DVD/BD ripper should do what you want, but it costs $4,595, including the built-in PC.
Facebook, for example, developed a server to store 10,000 Blu-ray discs, and demonstrated the system in a three-minute YouTube video. They enabled companies to share data from large numbers of DVDs or BDs, or create “cold storage” backups that could last for 50 years. Products aimed at the second were file servers, somewhat like giant jukeboxes. Products aimed at the first enabled companies to create lots of identical DVDs at once. Multi-DVD systems usually targeted either the disc duplication or data sharing markets. But most were aimed at large corporations or service providers, and very rarely at home users. Over the years, many commercial systems have sported multiple DVD drives, sometimes with hoppers or robot arms to feed in the discs. Buying specialised hardware would be expensive while doing it manually could take a long time. Moving it to a hard drive makes sense, but there’s no obvious way to do it. Technically, your data is accessible, but the sheer volume of DVDs means it’s not very practical. I didn’t think to mention storage, or the effort it might take to retrieve it.
#HOW TO COPY DVD TO COMPUTER HARD DRIVE HOW TO#
Schofield’s First Law of Computing says: Never put data into a program unless you can see exactly how to get it out. Robots do exist for automating copying optical discs to drives, but they’re not exactly cheap.
