That's a nice-to-have but certainly no must-have. Even if each work of art had an average of say, ten rips - unlikely, given the cost of making a rip and the loss of utility for making the 10th rip - the cost for yet another petabyte is hardly a problem (consider the analogy with software performance and additional resources).
As for the "best rip problem" ad hoc meta-solutions like NFO aggregation sites will arise where tagging would be of most use. Good old regular expression can also do some good for those who wish to have a smaller and cheaper hard drive.
- pessimizer 15y agoI'm not talking about scene ripping, where things are pretty much already perfect for that sort of thing - I'm talking about all of the other rips or original content that tend to start as personal use and come from (16mm, VHS or Laserdisk -> Various equipment ->) Numerous DVD editions -> Any number of programs -> Any number of formats. Maybe a half-automated/half-manual registration of files and statistics into a somehow curated distributed database? Maybe magnet links could double as file fingerprints?
