  • i get it, i collect them too. but only retail releases. no way to control the quality if the source isnt authoritative.

    to me, if youre 1-to-1 copying a retail blu ray, then authoring isnt required. if youre ripping it and compressing it (losslessly or otherwise), keep it on a nas for easier access. but if youre downloading a movie from the web and burning it, i dont see the point, since its already been compressed most likely, or at least you cant be sure its a great copy. especially with the audio side.

    i knew a guy who used to make full backups of redbox blu rays for archive purposes. that made sense to me.

    as to why might you be trolling, well, this is the kind of troll post id make haha

    if this isnt a troll, then you are one of a dying (pretty much never existed) breed

    burning dvds or copying vhs tapes made sense years ago bc you needed a converter to plug your computer into a tv, and the quality was iffy. now most machines and tvs are compatible with hdmi, so going from digital to physical is like printing a mapquest route and taking a picture of it with your phone

    edit: sorry i didnt provide a soln

    so… i did another reflector refresh and then did an Syyu. Now this is happening…

    this is with the mirrorlist shown in the picture below. not sure why i’d be getting almost 3 gigs of updates right now. i’ve been updating this and using this machine daily for months on this installation. when that is complete i’ll try for python-polib again.

    about 15 ruby packages got replaced with extra/ruby just now too.
