We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

If you just want playable copy, then sure makemkv is the way. If you want to make proper encode, then riping vobs is the correct way. Ever tried to OCR subtitles from mkv made by makemkv?:)
Datahoarding tends to attract relatively technical people
I wish that was the case.
I dropped my hard drive out the car window now its making a weird noise please help its going click click listen to my video is this normal!!!
Some of the responses here are making me reconsider that statement.
Caus you can rearrange a DVD structure and recode the VOBs with special subtitles, etc.
I have a copy of it archived and actually had to use it for one dvd in an anime set of mine that makemkv kept erroring out on a few years ago when backing up and setting up my plex server
People use it because it works, new doesn’t always equal better just because it’s new.
If it accomplishes what you need 🤷🏽♂️
I ripped over 150 mma dvds and a few movies with it and ran into one issue. it just works.
I’ve used it for years. It worked when needed. I’ll use another program when it doesn’t.
Same. It actually stopped working for me recently I guess the discs were too new. So I switched to Makemkv. Before that I had no need to.
I use it to rip everything into one big vob then feed the vob through handbrake and use hardware accelerated encoding using my 3080ti to encode the movie in ~3 mins
works great for Movies but TV shows are much more complicated.
How is that different than feeding one big MKV into handbrake?
wait it's abandonware?
