I don't disagree, but at the same time - a 20tb HD is $300, and it can store 250 disks. Even with a 500 disk collection, and redundancy, I'm looking at only about $1200 in storage costs. Even assuming replacing one of those disks per year, the price of storage is only going down.
Not that I'm not planning on re-encoding for everyday use, but I'll take the hit in storage costs to keep the "originals" around.
- bombcar 3y agoMy originals are the Blu-rays themselves; ready to be ripped again if needed.
- account42 3y agoIf you only have one backup copy of the originals then you'll have zero backup copies of the originals when you need them.
- account42 3y agoSomewhat agree. I do still re-encode most Blu-Rays to get rid of the black bars that are encoded in the video stream because apparently mandating players support arbitrary video aspect ratios would make too much sense.
