RIP YOUR DVD COLLECTION FOLKS

Wanted to watch Aliens, the disc plays OK but makes a horrible grinding sound. "OK fine," thinks I, "I'll watch it via other means," well my friends the other means are really really bad

"Oh cool there was a remaster this year" yeah they overexposed it and washed it all out, and as if that wasn't enough they AI'd it and everyone's got weird plastic skin

"Well butts, how about the blu-ray release from the early 2010's," well they didn't AI it yet but they did bollocks up the colours and made it all green because that was a thing in the 2010's

Rip your own DVDs folks 'cause if that DVD starts having problems you might not be able to find a copy amid a sea of gradually deteriorating versions

I'm still trying to figure out what's the best conversion quality to use in Handbrake. I converted the same VOB using two different settings and was driving myself crazy switching from one to another to see if there's a difference.

Currently I'm only using my laptop for watching, and I don't want to spend hours ripping and converting only to later realize the quality's not so good on a bigger screen.
