avast ye hardies!

Anyone have experience with ripping HDDVDs? My bluray rw and dvdrw will not recognize that a disk is even in the drive. Bad disk or do I need a special disk reader?

It required a $200 special external HD-DVD player to do so. Man, I feel bad for people who bought... oh wait, I bought two. :(

By the end, they were selling for like $50 and giving away discs.

I now try not to be the first to buy anything "new tech," I was certain HDR and Dolby Vision were going to do the same as Blu-Ray and HD-DVD and one would kill the other, it could still happen but maybe not.

I'll still argue that HD-DVD is mostly the better technology. The things which BRD tried to claim were what made it better were not things which would fundamentally have stayed with BRD. The interactive layer was finalized first on HD-DVD and was better.

All that said. I have many HD-DVDs and the drive. Before my drive fails, how would I archive my movies. 🤔
