One more reason to switch to Linux

I wanted to "rip" a BluRay movie yesterday. MakeMKV is the recommended free software for that. I followed the instructions HERE and it worked like a champ.

That yielded a 23 gigabyte movie file which I processed with Handbrake (another freebie) into a 720p 4.5 gigabyte MP4 movie, which I copied to my Western Digital "My Cloud" drive attached to my home WiFi router.

Now I can watch that movie anywhere in the house and not have to handle the physical disk anymore. The My Cloud attached storage has a video streaming server built in.
