@icedquinn I built up a lot of what I’ve got mostly through bins at places like FYE trying hard to get rid of their blurays and thrift shops that have large DVD/bluray racks with stuff that gets overlooked. It’s a very record crate style experience, which started from holding a movie night for friends years ago. At this point I get more bespoke stuff off amazon but that’s when it’s something specific I’m interested in, and it’s mainly just to rip it and throw the disk into a binder. It’s easy to get a libredrive at this point so even UHD bluray is pretty simple to pull, just time and space consuming.

What I am running into now is, as a result of many last minute attempts to save failing drives, some of those files are showing just how lossy they can get, with weird keyframe issues throughout. I just recently realized that one of the first TV series I did this with is suffering this issue and might have to go digging to find the original source discs and rerip. The bigger the file, the more likely it gets caught up in bad disk sectors in times like that, so the recent issue I had with a bad Toshiba drive means I have to rip a large 5 season series over again for the same reason (and that’s one of the infuriating ones, labeling those episodes the first time took a solid week since they were tracked on the disc non sequentially and the first season was all one video file per disc).
