Yep, tossed hundreds of discs. Most of them were “backups” of Netflix discs, but they are long gone.

MakeMKV is the best option. It rips it directly off the disc exactly like it was put on the disc.

The stuff on my drives is absolutely that important, and I have backups of all of it.

If you have a backup, not concerned at all. If not…extremely concerned.

If you didn’t have a backup, you already know, it wasn’t important.
