If laser disc taught us anything, even mastered optical media has a shelf life. The glue holding the layers together going to fail and those discs are going to be worthless... My discs are going to be worthless

I've got 30+ year old CDs and DVDs that read fine.

This will help you digitize all of em easily. All you need is a pc with a disc drive and enough IT-confidence to manage setting up the server. (I do recommend docker)

When its all setup you simply put in a dvd, you wait, it automatically ejects and you swap it for the next one.

output the files to a jellyfin server and watch them from basically any device with zero hassle.

    On a bare metal server/PC Note not prefered option

yeah I already have a process I use with makemkv, but that does look like a nifty thing to add to my container host
