The problem I am running into is it is very slow, much slower than I think it should be. The reason I am doing it this way is to que up a bunch of movies, then encode them overnight. I use dvdbackup to copy the TS_VIDEO directory to the MacBook Pro, then use Handbrake to encode it. I am using a combination of a command line tool called dvdbackup and handbrake to encode the DVDs. I am running Mint 19.3 on a 2011 MacBook Pro with a 2.5 GHz i7 (Sandybridge), 4 cores, 16 GB RAM. I am trying to set up a media server, I am in the process of converting my DVD library into MP4 and importing them into my iTunes library.
