This is a general invitation to chat (async, likely) or otherwise connect if you have an interest in disc dumping/preservation of CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, UHD Blu-Ray, and/or game console discs, want to get into it, and you aren't sure where to start, what to do, or what to use.

It's something I've been doing for a long time, and it's something I'm very passionate about. I'm happy to help newbies get their efforts off the ground if they want assistance.

I wouldn't say I'm any sort of authority or 'expert', but I've done this for so long that I'm aware of many quirks and 'gotchas' that come with it, and I'm happy to share my knowledge and experience! ​​

Feel free to boost, if you'd like! ​​

I wanted to tell you, I find your Plex collection super big and impressive!
BTW, if you don't mind me asking, why Plex over, say, Jellyfin?

@[email protected] At this point, it's mainly because of the scale the server has grown to, and how easy it is to onboard users. Also wanna get my money's worth out of that lifetime Plex pass before they totally ruin the app/service.

I plan to implement Jellyfin eventually (when I have the energy), but I'm really dreading the potential for issues with metadata matching. We'll see!

@maddy

Thank you so much, if you have a lifetime subscription it does make sense

@maddy @makary Same. I’m planning on eventually moving on from Plex. Don’t like the direction they are going.

And as a fellow ripper I will gladly follow along. One of these days I’m gonna add more storage space. My 50 TB NAS is getting full from 4K Blu-ray rips.

@AppleFangirl @[email protected] Yeaaahhhh, I feel that. All my HD DVD/Blu-ray/UHD rips are adding up to ~25TB. ​​
