The problem with older media is that you have to actively create torrents, the tracker might fold, etc.
With eD2K, it's very old school P2P filesharing, just give it a directory and the files on it are shared on the network.
Of course, the "push" part to torrent tracker sites isn't as active.
I use both torrents and eD2K, depending on what I'm looking for.
I used to have a lot of Blu-ray Disc movie resources, but I wanted to play Blu-ray Disc on different devices, or convert Blu-ray Disc into different formats, such as MP4, so I wanna know how to rip blu-ray. My friend recommended Handbrake to me. Although it is a free software, I have to install libdvdcss specially, and there are still a series of problems, so I finally bought a paid software, DVDFab, which is a one-time payment for permanent use, and it is still available at present.
Handbrake only converts an existing Blu-ray rip to a video format, it doesn't rip DVDs and Blu-rays on its' own.
You can install MakeMKV to rip your discs, then convert them to video files in HandBrake.
I'm so confused by the tier list of what is good resolution. I thought AV1 was the best encode at the moment, I'm not concerned with size but resolution. Are these remixes the best for that?
Remux is lossless usually so it's the closest to blu-ray
It's not about resolution, it's also about bitrate. Higher bitrate = higher quality.
Though I am excited for the futute of AV1. I'm still confused how they managed to make videos look great while keeping bitrate and file sizes low...
It's not just bitrate but how good the retail encode of a Blu-ray is. There are certain movies where a smaller bit-rated Blu-ray is actually the best option. Private trackers are filled with comparisons between all the available Blu-rays to figure out of which one is the best in terms of video/audio quality. Buying a Blu-ray may still not get you the best quality.
@TheImpressiveX if you don't have money to spend but the movie is older, one can also hit up charity stores. I find good Blu ray and dvds for a few dollars at the local st Vincent DePaul stores all the time. It takes patience but it pays off. I've got some great full seasons of TV shows too for like $5
Just check disk for damage before buying and that the right disk is in the right box.
