How to backup around 200 DVD

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They would probably compress pretty well, I imagine.
Majority of the data (video) is already compressed as MPEG-2 so I'd think it doesn't compress very well. But if you don't have enough storage it's always an option to re-encode video with something more modern and achieve smaller file sizes from that. But that also removes at least DVD menu and other 'format dependent' options.
Yeah, but I'm assuming there are many gains to be had if your compression method doesn't need to be stream decoded for real time playback.
