It takes me just a few seconds to download each episode. Takes maybe 2 minutes to transfer them via WiFi to my storage in Living Room for display on my Pioneer Plasma.
The video issues I saw in Episode one were not bad and I am positive were not introduced by your manipulations. I have DVDFab and was going to convert your files to mp4 or something but as I said, no need. My wife cringed at the dialog a few times during the Episode about Jack. Specifically not referring to the "Japanese" by that name, but rather as the pejorative shortened versions. I reminded her that when this originally aired that was almost assuredly our usage also. Which reminds me. We watched the film Midway a couple of weeks ago. Not well done, IMHO, but I'm currently reading Midway by Walter Lord. In any event, at the end of the film they voiced over a Dedication of the Film to both the American and Japanese Heroes involved. I found that offensive and will not watch that film again.

No worries. I struggled with getting those episodes ripped properly for far too long. Thought software was my problem. In the meantime, my main server here at home died, so I built a brand new one, a BEAST with 32Gb RAM and 10TB of storage. On a whim, I tried ripping the DVDs with it.. and it worked flawlessly from the first try.
So, I've got the process debugged, can crank em out pretty fast now. G

gerry,
Please don't rush on my account. Why wife and I watch maybe 35-45 minutes of a movie every night - so it takes typically 3 or 4 nights to watch a movie. Before viewing the next movie I have saved up, we view a "short" for one night or sometimes 2 nights. Say a Silen SErvice Episode, a Netflix Series Episode, or similar. It'll take us over a month before we work thru the 16 Episodes you've posted so far. Edited by SaltiDawg - 10 Apr 2020 at 4:53pm |

Turns out I can stream the m4v format Silent Service episodes to my Big Screen TV and watch. Watched the first Episode re the Jack - skippered by CDR Dykers, the host of the Series. Wife and I will watch an episode every three or four days. Looking forward to gerry being able to get to Season II - or is it the second half of Season I

All - You can easily download and view these episodes on your computer with Windows Media Player or the free tool VLC. There is also a Mac version of VLC.
@Tom - Should be simple enough with one of those VHS/DVD player/recorders. @SaltiDawg - If you'd like I can provide ISO images of the DVDs once I am done ripping the episodes.

I'm trying to figure how to convert the m4v files linked to to, say, DVD or another format so I can more easily display at home. (I do have DVDFab,)
