Mark my words, when we lose the option to own physical media, like anything else, it will be a loss that we will of wished we didn't let happen. Cancel your streaming services and insist on physical media. So you OWN IT. I built my home theater, home media server (NAS) and got BW-16D1HT drives years back because I saw this trend trying to move everything to subscription/renting. I buy every physical copy I can find, be that DVD, BD or 4K. Even digitized VHS's that were never released on disc. Good video, more need to do this!

Unfortunately a lot of different industries are moving to the same path (like video games) and it's scary not feeling like you own the content you want to watch. I absolutely agree with your comment and I hope plenty of other people see the value in physical media as time goes on. Thanks for watching!

Technically even with a disc you only own a license to watch it, in some places like the UK it's legal to create a back up for personal use however it's barely legally challenged elsewhere anyway.

@Dellerss Жыл бұрын

I've recently started buying (mostly) 4k blu-rays. Didn't buy or even watch movies for years. If you have one or two subsription services where you can get all you need at the quality you want that is fine and convenient, but that's hardly ever the case. The potential to be convenient if what you want is where you want when you want it is streaming's only really positive side IME, but it has tons of negatives compared to 4k blu-rays. I don't mind not owning TV series, which I mostly don't have time to watch multiple times anyway, but owning movies seems to be vastly superior to streaming for a number of reasons.

I bought an Asus BW-16D1X-U external USB blu-ray drive last week for ripping 4K blu-rays and it's been fantastic. It rips 4K discs in about 30 minutes. Standard blu-rays in about 20m. I bought it used for $60 (free shipping) and flashed the firmware, then opened it up and moved the drive from its USB enclosure over to my desktop tower. It was a really cheap and easy way to get into blu-ray ripping. The speeds are great too.

You really need to update this video and its description to let people know that the Pioneer BDR-XS07 doesn't work anymore due to 1.03 being what they ship out now. That drive currently can't even be flashed to work properly at all, so it's literally one of the main drives to avoid. You've got the Amazon link right at the top of the description without any warning that it should not be used.

I still have all the DVD's I bought YEARS ago. And did the same with XBMC on my xbox. Still have about 3 of them OG units. My main reason for doing this back them was KIDS! My god, they would scratch up any Game disc or DVD movie title I had. At times, I owned 4-5 copies of a DVD or Games. Putting them on a NAS or Windows SMB share saved me THOUSANDS of dollars! I would just rip the entire ISO and then set up the Scrapers. But even I have to admit that doing this now is more just for the titles I really like to watch. And there are only a few of them on Blueray I care to watch these days as not much from Hollywood really gets me wanting to watch or ever watch it again. Then as the kid grew up? I really had no need to do this. With Blurrays? I just have not bothered. Overtime? I really don't spend much time doing home theater. And I have most of my stuff in storage now. The golden age of it is sort of lost on me as the kids grew up. And I don't have to worry about messed up or scratched discs like I use to, making the disc unplayable or unwatchable.

So unless you have a player that can handle Dolby Vision in an MKV you will probably only get HDR10. But we still like to rip these movies in order to future-proof our library. Hope this helps :)

@@TwoGuyzTech Though I use Mac, there is on older windows a download called ClownBD. It is a group of software (free) that does very well with subtitles if you make an effort. As forced subs can be a stream of its own or a subset of a stream, you can find which is which and flag it as forced. Something if you have time you may want to check out. Also, be aware that it uses a specific older version of Java.

There’s an app called subtitle edit that OCRs the subtitle file and saves it as a text file, which you then can add to your handbrake file. It can select multiple sub files, so you can get the standard subs, the foreign language bits, etc.

I am using the Verbatim Slimline bluray burner which I can recommend. Apparently it comes in three different variants where only one of them reads 4K, otherwise they're all the same hardware except for what type of USB connection it depends on. It is very small and even fits into one of those CD carrying cases in fabric, if it is square shaped. The only downside I find is that it feels a bit fragile when it's open as it is not a laydown tray but rather a pinch-center arm that comes out and that feels a bit flimsy. Very cheap though, it's the best way to get into burning bluray backups in case you're stuck in the cloud or on external hard drives prone to mechanical failure or handling malpractice.

If the opposite is buying a chassis mounted drive then I'm out of luck anyway; my last tower was my XP computer and I have no intention of going back to them. As an entry model, it's still easy to recommend to newcomers since it does the deal and is fairly quiet since it only goes to 6x.

@@Henkibojj I was looking into that a week or so ago with folks on Forums advising strongly against buying a slim burner. I bought a OWC Mercury Pro, with being very fast and highly rated being a sales argument, for online HD movies and flac music burning on a disc (i do own lots of blu-rays and CDs but some stuff i like is not for sale that way). And i bough BD-R and M DISC BD-R (which is suppost to last decades). So it is not about ripping for me but putting data on.

Just a quick pointer you need to flag the forced subs as well NAME = Forced and FLAG = df. Also VC1 codec does not work so you will have to convert the vc1 codec to a format plex likes. The only blurays I have trouble with are 3D blurays. Also check you disc as slight scratches or dirty disc will end in a failed rip or will not rip at all. And for tv series and film naming I use a programme called Filebot it has saved my countless hours renaming boxsets etc.

Could you give a more detailed description of the subtitle settings you've mentioned. I recently went through a lot of research to get forced subtitles to work correctly for me in Plex. I just want to make sure that your settings get included in my workflow, but I'm not sure where or how you're setting these values. Thanks in advance, and thanks for making this point. I don't think a lot of people know how to get forced subtitles to work correctly in Plex. ~Frank

No you don't get that kind of ripping capabilities with MakeMKV, it just rips the movie or whatever video track you choose. In some cases you'll be able to see other video tracks like menu and extra features that you can rip separately if you need, but I doubt anyone's interested in having a separate non functioning menu video file. If you want to see the menu and/or play extra features of the movie, that's when you put the original disc in your player and watch that, once in your lifetime... ;)

Also been using two other converters too, Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate and Acrok Video Converter, though I have not tried them with 4K discs. Aimersoft has a lot of other tools and even rips KZfaq videos to your computer (and other video sites if they're supported) and Acrok is a good, lightweight converter, sometimes converts the occasional disc that Aimersoft didn't pick up. I shall add MakeMVK to my list now :D

In settings if you select your preferred language it will remember the setting and you wont have to continually go through all the BS you showed in the menu with audio and subtitle selection as it will uncheck all the foreign languages and subtitles for you. You're also better off making a backup copy (Decrypted) of the disc to an SSD and then make an MKV file from the backup rather than doing it directly from the disc. The reason is because it eliminates any potential hiccup/pause/stutter in the mkv file that might occur with the continual delay and interruption of waiting for the BluRay drive. Also, if you're not happy with the mkv that you made via the disc method (perhaps there was something missed in selection menu) it is far easier to go back into the copy rather than load and wait for the disc again.

Thanks for watching! Yep this should work fine but we haven't tested DVD discs from other regions personally. 4K Blu-rays do not have any region code so they should also work perfectly. You can convert the resulting MKV with a software like Handbrake to get an MP4 and put it onto a disc if your player supports playing MP4 files from disc, though it might be easier just to put the MP4 file on a USB stick. Hope this helps!
