Today is a day of ripping ALL the media discs I got at Anime North this weekend so that they can be accessible on my media server.
I got some good deals. New, sealed, Haganai BDs for $60 CAD each, these are out of print now and Aniplex will be re-releasing them for a much higher price. Meanwhile I got dumb trashy Sukisyo in a box set for $6.

pokemon the first movie
*rubs my eyes thinking about it
No, I said I wouldn't cry at this, I've seen it before, it can't phase me
Not...Giving... In
Now don't you start!
See, he's fine. I made it and didn't shed a single tear!
Goddamn it, that's not even from the movie!!
Pikachu is too nice for him!

Why would I want to torrent recompressed rips when I can remultiplex the DVDs and instead use 900mb-1.4GB per episode and retail the identical data set to what is on the disc?
I don't think you comprehend how I store media on my server. As far as I'm concerned, silly pirate rips are overcompressed garbage. Go big or go home.

I don't think you quite understand the titles you are looking at there. Everything there on DVD does not have Blu-Ray releases. They are from the 2000's when anime was being produced digital but only at standard definition. No high definition masters of those discs EXIST.
The exception is the Cardcaptor Sakura movie, but I only got that for the dub. The existing Cardcaptor Sakura movie bluray only features the newer dub. That DVD contains the edited, character renamed Nelvana 'Cardcaptors' dub. I got the disc to extract that dub and then multiplex it as an additional audio track into the BluRay I have.If you haven't caught on yet, I'm kinda 'next level' about this and well beyond your cute little 'Oh you could just torrent some rips' world.

Multiplexing is the act of aligning multiple video, audio, and subtitle tracks in paralleled in a data stream to allow them to be all read concurrently. REMultiplexing is manipulating those streams to rearrange them. I do not 'rip' discs as you understand it, where a lossy video compression process is done, usually to yield smaller files. When you REmultiplex a disc you COPY the video, audio and subtitle data. It is NOT recompressed and there is no loss. It is a LOSSLESS process and vast as it only copies data. That means all the AV data in my MKVs are IDENTICAL to that on the disc, just cut up into individual episodes for ease of access.
This is ALSO how I can take the remultiplexed rip of the CCS movie and then INJECT an additional audio stream from the DVD to give it a second dub track. It writes a new file with the additional streams.

OK making a non pokemon contribution. So you prefer to take the actual tracks off the disc and virtually replicate them in the server. I have two questions.
Are the raw files not available for torrenting with the data the way you want it?
If not editing the audio tracks, does it provide any other benefit?

1) Some people DO torrent Remuxes or complete images of the DVD or BD discs that you can remux from, yes.
2) I actually like having the physical medium on a shelf in an archival format that can literally last DECADES.
3) The files on the server are MUCH more accessible to my HTPC and it allows me to only open the discs ONCE to remux them and they can otherwise go untouched.
