I was an early adopter of DVD technology many, many years ago and have a collection of over 700 copywrited movies. I have software to convert to digital copies, but will take the rest of my life to convert. Is there any solution to concert them faster or in bulk? I am not looking to share, I just want to consolidate some of my collection if even just 50-75 of them if possible.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Why not use a program like imgburn to make an iso-file on a hard disk. You can play that as you like.
Assumin it takes 10 minutes per CD, that's 7000 minutes, that's 116 hours. I expect that to be less than the rest of your life.
One DVD = 4.7 GB.
700 DVD's = 3.3 TB.
That's 2 external hard disk + 2 backup disks = 4 disks (unless you consider the DVD enough backup, then you need only 2 disks, 2 TB each). It's a pity disks are rather expensive at the moment.
