25% is somewhat minor to me. i.e. one can view it as each bluray costing you 6.25 euro instead of 5. reencoding takes time and effort. i.e. lets say an encoded movie could be stored for free (not true but useful for argument). that means if it costs you 200 euro to store 200 simply decrypted movies, it means if you would spend more than 1 euro of your time, energy ... on each movie, its better economically to not reencode it. from my experience, one ends up spending a decent amount of time per disc. edit: the above is just my logic for why the added cost isnt much to me and something i think others should consider. there might be good reasons why it doesnt apply in specific situations, but i still think everyone should think long and hard about it.
