If you have Windows, burn them up to the  cloud via One Drive (or Google Drive). Then they can be accessible anywhere, any device.

Two choices; ISO images or ‘ripping’ from disc to another format such as MP4. 
For ISO images you’ll need software such as VLC to play them. Often just easier to find an already ‘ripped’ download source.

Get Microsoft 365 Family @ $80 for up to SIX members, so you can have up to 6 TB of cloud storage, as well as 100 minutes of Skype per month each, and all Microsoft's Office apps.

Like what films / movies ?

 

Home movies? Hollywood movies / DVD? CD / VCD? 

 

You might want to compress them first with handbrake - it's not difficult. Then they will fit on a MC.

You first need to get your DVD from your disc (I presume they are DVD and not CD)

 

DVD Decrypter used to be the go to for windows, but seems to be depreciated, WinX DVD Ripper seems to be a free replacement.

 

This will give you either two files (Video_TS) or an ISO disc image, on your computer HDD, you can play those on your computer, but they will be large - either around 5GB or 9GB depending upon the original disc size. 

 

You then need to compress those using Handbrake .. https://handbrake.fr

 

Here is a tutorial https://www.rapidseedbox.com/blog/guide-to-mastering-handbrake

 

There are other compression software available, but handbrake is one of the most popular, its free.

 

This will give you a file that you can play on your TV, maybe something around 1.5-2GB for a movie. Which will be playable on your TV, you can do it again for your Phone, but there are much easier ways to stream to your phone.

 

TBH - To save yourself the trouble, you are better just throwing the 540 DVDs away and downloading 1080P HD rips from a torrent site where someone has already taken the time to compress them already.

Did I say Lifetime? No $80 a year for all that seems a bargain to me. Share it between 6 of you = $13 each per year. Expensive?

Free version of what? You get 5GB with your Microsoft account, and I think the same with Google Drive. Enough for all your movies?

You are so correct. You see things with 'FREE Delivery' or 'Free Insurance. Substitute the word 'INCLUDING' for FREE. Someone has to pay for it.

Might even get a better quality movie that way as a lot of older movies are being remastered in BluRay format. BDRip in h265 codec from a trusted release group, what could possibly go wrong? ????

Have you installed any wondershare apps on your computer?

 

Just google .. "Wondeshare malware"

 

Quote

Wondershare is loaded down with adware/malware/PUPs

Stay far away from them and any product from them.

Are you sure?

Do you like watermarks on your media?

Yes it can be done but it's a bad idea.

 

Memory cards aren't designed for long term storage. If left unpowered, the data will be lost after a period of time.

 

The way people do it is a centralised storage system called a NAS. You store your films on there, then your mobiles/tablets/computers can all access it from there.
