#ripping — Public Fediverse posts

Anyone else out there noticing that newer tv series shows on physical bluray discs are pre-encoded already to h264, and the quality is bad? Most bluray movies and older (pre-2024) bluray tv shows on discs were in the raw mpeg2video codecs and had the highest quality. I don't mind paying for my physical bluray media but if this is what the RIAA has in store for us then I'm out.

#CD #archival tip: if your drive is so tired of a bad CD that it spits the CD out...
push the CD back in! Maybe in a different position. Literally. I moved the drive from the floor on the bed and the disc keeps #ripping now.

Or maybe it was `--scsi-timeout=1000`. Either way, CD is cracked but #redumper is happy:

Tangible versus Virtual. Here's a great example of how the promise of streaming has been betrayed by cartelized corporate greed. First photo is my recently delivered box set of "The Expanse", 19 DVD's all for $32.40 USd including tax & shipping. Second photo is the cost to stream all 6 seasons contained in the DVD set, from Fandango at $59.99.

I acquired a bit ago a nicely working DVD/BluRay/CD player with HDMI & spdif audio outputs for $15 from my local Goodwill, hooked into the 55" display & big speakers in my studio, for a home theater vibe. Nice thing is that it is also easy to rip DVD's to digital video files, and with Jellyfin on my OpenMediaVault server, easy to stream to other devices too. Versus a bigger payment for just a corporation's potentially rescinded promise towards future viewing access.

Once upon a time, given the relative costs of materials/time/energy/labor needed to create tangible formats like optical discs, made one of the big selling points of streaming, besides obvious 'convenience', was that it was almost always less expensive for the consumer. While streaming certainly has costs to produce - needing lots of servers & CDN's for encoding, hosting & delivery - this should still end up being a fraction per stream compared to what it takes to manufacture, package & deliver optical discs made out of plastics and metals. So seems to me what we've seen of late is the media corporations raising in concert rates for streaming, with profit margins on these ballooning, while the last of the optical disc manufacturing plants, have reduced their profit margins to the bare minimum. The result is an inversion in pricing between the tangible & virtual options for many releases now. And for those of us interested in lasting & ready access to specific works of art, and for those of us that value "digital sovereignty", against a marketing system working to make these things more scarce, the tangible options are looking increasingly attractive.

Would be wonderful, if we were able to do the same with videos on DVD, or Blueray.

#TIL that you can rip an audio CD in #KDE just by opening it in dolphin and copying out the folder named for the format you want it in.

These are a set of virtual folders that represent the formats supported by your system to rip them into.

How cool is that?

Anyone have a recommendation for a readily available USB optical drive (CD/DVD/etc) that works reliably with Linux commandline ripping tools? I'm mostly interested in CDs (got a few sitting around that I'd like to extract audio from), but if DVD and/or bluray worked too, that'd be a bonus.
