Remember when Netflix mailed DVDs? We would rip and make copies as soon as the mail was delivered, to try to get them back to the post office before 3pm. I think you could rent 3 or 4 disks at a time?
My uncle did this for years. He shared a subscription with a friend of his and ripped thousands of movies and gave copies to the whole family. Damn the 00's were wild.
Edit: Ooh do you remember CloneCD? https://clonecd.en.softonic.com/ I have that lamb icon burned into my brain
Yes! That lamb was awesome. We had the burner that would burn an image on top too, otherwise we used the sticky labels. Made tons of "mixtapes" to play in the car as we didn't have an aux. The radio things we tried to use with an mp3 player were awful and we gave up on that nonsense.
I remember doing this a few times with "Mac the Ripper" on macOS
That was one of the reasons why movie DVDs started having bigger sizes that the ones defined for DVD[+-]R and DVD-RW... and someone created a program to rip and compress or edit the content prior to saving a new DVD. Good times :-D
Netflix has existed for 25 years 😳 I was listening to some the other day and someone mentioned that they started in 1998 and that was a shock lol
