Not looking so bad now

Burn your "acquired media" to physical media now folks. The powers that be are purposely limiting physical media so the have an excuse to phase it out
instructions unclear, set fire to my entire DVD collection

I started building an all-BluRay collection back in 2018. I saw the writing on the wall when I would go to watch a movie with friends on streaming and it would be gone.
Almost all of my favorite movies are mine now. I see a lot of comments talking about pirating, but for me personally, the display I get and being able to just have guests grab from the wall is a lot cooler than scrolling.
Not to mention, some of them are quite collectible. It’s neat having some movies that are really rare and I know I had to work to find them.
I highly suggest that you make ripped backups. I learned the hard way, I digitised my grandfather's CD collection and some of his DVDs, some of which were already damaged beyond repair. Some of his broken DVDs are less than 20 years old. They are not scratched, they are in mint condition.

Genuinely curious how are publishers limiting physical media? I haven't bought a blu-ray in a long while.

DVD, Blueray, VHS? I've never heard of those torrent sites before
️they are what your torrents evolved from.

Yeah. Was thinking of starting that this year. Getting ready to switch my last Windows machine to Linux and it’s the one running the BluRay drive. Linux is way easier to rip with.

Missed opportunity IMO there should totally be a piracy product or site called VHS

Virtual Home Streaming
I LOVE IT

My vcr and all old consoles actually work fine on my shitty insignia flat-screen. But I'd rather play on my crt or projector tv.
Works, yes.
that 480x(520)480 resolution tho...

Keep a 13-inch TV around?

missing the point.

I have a media converter made from a raspberry pi I use for all of my old consoles so I can play them on modern TVs. I bet it would work great for vhs tapes as well. Tape degradation might be a different issue though...
Even the fresh tapes don't hold up well to digital. That phosphor blur, small screen size and insane brightness made that picture look so much better than it really was. you spread that out to the large screen it looks rough.
Video games with a lot of solid colors work well, but everything else is a horror show

you got Blu Rays from before Steamboat Willy?
Wow... an OG Disney fan...

Yeah. Was thinking of starting that this year. Getting ready to switch my last Windows machine to Linux and it’s the one running the BluRay drive. Linux is way easier to rip with.
I have a decent dvd/blu-ray collection and was hoping to rip them and put them on Jellyfin. I haven’t ever ripped video before, only CDs and that was a long time ago. I also would have to pick up a usb disc reader or similar since I don’t have one in my machine. Any suggestions on applications to use or external disc readers to look out for? I’m running Linux not windows.
