I have 10 years of home videos on dvd. (Family stuff cant be replaced) A couple are failing. Some are720 and most are 1080p. Thinking I could make ISOs for 125 videos and put them on 4 separate drives for 4 kids to keep for long term. I ripped one to ISO(with DVD decrypter) to external hardrive and usb. Couldn't play the iso through Samsung bluray, or android box, or Samsung smart tv. Then tried to convert the ISO to mp4 with VLC. Still couldnt play on anything. (I discover mp4 is not compatable for Samsung smart tv... but wont play through android box or Samsung bluray??? So I need help with a longterm plan...
#1 goal is keep good quality that is on external drive from DVD sources.
#2 is help deciding what type of file will play where and how...
#3 what will be a long term file that can be converted later as technology changes?
#4??? keep all ISO files on Externals... then burn back to dvd if they fail??? or to new technology ???
Aaaaahhhh? Rrrrrrr....
I don't check email every day but I will follow up!!! Thx
Thanks for all ideas!!!!
