Ah cool. I've been buying few various obscure movies in 4:3 PAL/NTSC and 16:9 DVDs in various regions and converting them to h.265 using slow processing. As I don't trust ffmpeg and handbrake to perpetually be superior, so I'm always keeping around at least unencrypted VOBs if not the DVD .iso. Including pristine source artifacts along with prettified ones is important for archival. (My inner archivist is a choosy beggar Karen.)
- Lammy 2y agoSame here — I always always keep the untouched DVD image and usually even keep the physical discs. I tend to leave CSS intact in the name of doing as exact a copy as possible since it’s so fully broken.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoDecrypted VOBs are nice to have(tm) additional intermediate products because nearly all players and some transcoders are idiotically region locked but will generally accept decrypted VOBs (same field data) just fine.
