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!

Could you not just torrent these? Also some look like they are DVD, RIP 480p quality. 

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.

A rip is only as good as its source material, the Bluray rips are great but the DVD rips will always be garbage. 

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.

What are you using that can take a sub 480p source file and turn it into anything worth watching? There physically is not any real data on disc to actually produce a 1080p file. 

The only thing I can think of is fancy software that attempts to upsclale......keyword being attempts. 

I'm rather confused as to where you got the idea that a 1080p image is being produced.  I did not say anything to give you any indication of that being done.  Do you not understand what 'Remultiplexing' is?

No I don't. That is what I'm asking. I've never even heard of it. 

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.

So the outputted media is just an exact copy of the source? 

If that is the case that would mean any discs that you REMultiplex are still in essence a ~480p Video? 

You keep asking things that have been clearly explained and you should fully comprehend now.  Is English not your first language or something?

A simple yes would have sufficed. You don't need to add the attitude......

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?

You literally asked me if an exact copy of one set of data retains the attributes of the original set of data, as if you don't know what 'Copy' or 'Lossless' means.  How am I supposed to seriously answer that question without first seeing if you comprehend the words that I am using?

By answering a simple yes or no question with a simple yes or no......It's really not that hard. 

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.

2. I can agree with enjoying having the physical media, though with 4 kids, the idea of a disc lasting for decades is laughable. Which is why I want to eventually take all my collection and do the same. the problem is I have no money for the server part of it

Money is something that I have enough of.

I just need enough for a 2 bay nas and 3 2 tb harddrives to put in raid 5
