Years ago I made movies (from VHS tapes) with Canopus (now called Grass Valley) and burned to DVDs. The disks are now failing and before losing everything I would like to move these movies over to an external hard drive. Can you tell me how to go about this?
 
Solution
Handbrake is one of the best free video conversion tools. Since these aren't commercial DVDs there is no encryption to deal with. Handbrake should be able to convert them to a streaming friendly format.
