    DVD Backup

    Hi everyone, I'm planning on doing a HDD backup of my DVDs and I have a couple of questions. - Have you done it? - Which Software did you find is the best?

    New York's Keeper

    Should we newcomers get an introduction out of the way? OK, here's mine. I constantly say Vice has the identical power and importance as Star Wars: A New Hope. But while I was an avid collector of Star Wars stuff, I was never a Vice collector--not one single T-shirt, poster or memorabilia, no sunglasses, no interest in sitting in sports cars. I'm a New York resident, in a current time when cheap cars are being jury-rigged to go recklessly fast and noisy, for illegal street racing again. (Some of us have fine performance cars BOUGHT from the performance makers---so I have a sort of disdain for the hootchy-neighborhood hot rod craze around me right now; we don't like to see a car driven like Vin-Diesel goofs, and we don't like the property damage) I personally thanked God for the time period Miami Vice arrived in. Living with my mom at the time, the Dade County cops were my escape from mom's Dallas/Knot Landing torture. I side with the folks who make the argument that Miami Vice was never over the top with its portrayal of the city of Miami, and that it was actually RIGHT ON target about the atmosphere and the coke playground of the city in the 80's. I never picked sides with whether the primary protagonist character was Sonny or Rico. I don't know if it was deliberately realized by the actor, or required by the director, but I think it was excellent that Sonny was played as comfortably undercover in a city he knows well, while Rico was played as devil-may-care on the surface but at any moment becoming wide-eyed edgy in a city that's always kept potentially new to him throughout the series.   I never realized the creators-vs-studio politics that changed and eventually lowered Vice off my television screen. I just naively thought I'd gotten tired of the show. I suspect a lot of viewers wrongly believed the reason it got canceled is becasue we just "grew out" of the show, like we did with most series eventually. I always liked Sonny's first car over the second car. I always liked his SECOND cig-boat over the first. I never realized I wasn't looking at the REAL car (Jim Rockford's car was a REAL Pontiac, not a replica, so I just figured Crockett's black spider was a real one too). I liked Gregory Sierra's contributions just as much as James Edward's. BOTH were great in-character presentations, and I only wish the show could have somehow fit in more Sierra time before the Olmos changeover. I condemn Dick Wolf's insertion into the series. Artistically the wrong and incompetent decision the studio made. And Trudy was the one I had the chauvinist eye on. (Gina was a lovely sweetheart, but Trudy was the gal who could always make my male college mind sinfully weak).     I never saw ALL the episodes of Vice in my 80's watching. So I seriously have NO favorite episode. But the "clarity of theme" shown in the first 3 seasons etched me enough that I couldn't ever feel comfortable with seasons 4 and 5. When I finally started collecting Universal's early dvd sets, selectively Season 1-3 was all I wanted to own. Picture transfer was really admirable, and I LIKED the art designs on Universal's cases. But I have just invested in the Mill Creek Box (Oct 24 2016 distribution), and I know it's going to be like watching the show from birth again. I sampled the Rockford Files DVD set that Mill Creek did, and it's the only version that finally makes you squint the way you should when seeing sun-sparkling LA. I'm not a BluRay fan, and I'm not wild about artificially "mocking up" an honest mono program into a stereo experience, or an original stereo recording into DTS versions either). I have a phenomenal Runco media screen, with some select HDMI and sound cables, so I'm quite satisfied when I find a great DVD transfer that's worth braggin about. I still have the Universal version DVD cases, so I'm seriously considering reusing them, and ditching Mill Creek's hobo-quality cardboard container. Thanks for having me!
