Using the HP MediaSmart to Rip DVDs July 3, 2009 Mike Garcen Philip from MSWHS.com found an interesting article on using your HP MediaSmart Server, which by nature does not come with any optical drive, as a DVD ripping engine. Not the most seamless operation in the world, but effective (and affordable). Notebooks.com The cool thing about this setup is that I can now rip my DVDs without really thinking about it. After the initial configuration you can rip two or three movies per hour by just placing the discs into the DVD drive. Copying DVDs takes a lot of computing resources and I prefer to have the server doing this work and freeing up my notebook’s memory and processor for other tasks.
