I have every season of Stargate SG-1 on DVD, and unfortunately one disc already has an unplayable scene due to scratches, but for the most part it's in-tact.

No streaming service has the HD wide-screen versions available for streaming, and their subtitles are very.... Summarizing. In sections.

I have a laptop with a USB connected dvd player, and I've been slowly converting the discs to my digital library, but holy shit is this a slow process.

I literally could have been done with every season and special feature of all three shows and the movies in the time it took me to rip the first season alone.

Buuuuut I don't currently have a Very Pontoony Nautical vessel soooooo.. I can't go sailing right now.

Are you ripping and encoding them with Handbrake? You can at least speed it up a bit by just ripping them with MakeMKV and then leaving them in the full quality format to skip the long encode. This will take up more HDD space but save a ton of time comparably.
