Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Assuming you mean commercial DVDs, handbrake+libdvdcss.
It's pretty much 'insert disk, hit button, wait some amount of time, video file!'
Would recommend, however, that you do not use AMF (AMD) for encoding, and just stick to QSV/NVENC/x264/x256 because AMD's quality is uh, less than stellar and you probably want the best possible quality for archiving your DVDs.
Isn't AMD's HEVC/265 still decent, specifically? I feel like I read that somewhere years back. 264 has always been a weak spot for them, however.
It's still a quality-at-a-given-bitrate deficient.
If you're doing temporary encoding for like, streaming, or something where real-time encoding performance matters it's still probably the way to go, but if you're wanting to create high-quality archival stuff it's still not quite as good as your other options.
Granted, x265 on the cpu is probably still the way to go (excepting maybe if you're doing AV1 on an ARC gpu), but nvenc and qsv still outclass AMF.
Wish AMD would get a little more serious and bring that up to par, but they seem to be waffling on what they even want to do for consumer gpus so I'm not really holding my breath here.
