My dad still has one of those turntable changers it was cool as hell when I was a kid. I got a stereo with a 5 cd changer in it too eventually but it had a single slot and some storage mechanism to swap them out that was loud and took like 15 seconds to change a disk.

i wanted something like that for my blu ray collection initially, to have on-demand access to play whichever title i wanted but A) they only made them for DVDs (not blu rays) then stopped cuz i guess it made it too convenient for people? idk? piracy somehow? and B) my collection grew past what a unit could hold anyway. There was a thing called Kaleidascape that would do it for you with super expensive DRM and even that got ixnay'd by the MPAA or whoever, so i just started ripping them in makemkv and storing them on disk, which worked out WAY more convenient anyway thanks for pushing me into exactly what you were i guess trying to prevent by killing off the legal options, movie industry? now its all on this:  2,373 films and counting, 2,314 of which in blu ray 1080p. no transcoding or additional compression, just the movie title bit for bit off each blu ray disc into a .mkv in plex now. it's literally better than having the blu ray jukebox i initially wanted since it skips allt he fbi bullshit and forced trailers et al. plenty of space to go, too, since my last upgrade from 8TB disks to 14TB disks.

i suspect b is the bigger problem, people will either have 5 blu rays or 5000 and nothing in between. i'd like an optical jukebox for my library but it would be the size of a washer dryer.

They just wont let you do that for some reason also lol at "people will either have 5 blu rays or 5000 and nothing in between" i am literally like right smack in the middle of those figures at 2373 Sniep fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jun 25, 2022 |

i do! and hte reason why is BECAUSE of streaming media it all started cuz i had a date over to watch something that was on netflix the night before and they removed it from the library and it sucked cuz we both wanted to watch whatever it was, so i started buying/collecting physical media and havent stopped since that was like, 2009? that synology stack above is my 4th iteration of this movie server poo poo lol

Chris Knight posted:i seriously doubt it was piracy. more like no one actually bought them, so why bother making them anymore oh there was definitely piracy concerns, not for the regular ones,, but hte network connected concept. There were a few ideas out there how to "legally" do it that held the discs captive, but they were super stupid expensive like kaleidascape, and still weren't satisfactory. now it's all full-chain DRM downloads to the local servers, that i can only imagine could still be revoked at any time. (Though they wouldn't, their market is the ultra wealthy, and many of these systems are installed on private jets / yachts without good internet anyway, so they pre-fill the movie cache on the shore internet) i've been following this for a while, trust me, there's been a ton of pressure against anything that makes collecting and accessing movies easier outside of just single-disc-in-a-tray type players e: to be clear i'm talking about the 2008-2010 era Sniep fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Jun 25, 2022 |

lol no you don't sniep, you have thousands of movies. that is not at all approaching medium sized. when op said "5k" they were picking an arbitrary large number. 30 is a medium-sized collection. 2k is hilariously huge and it's really funny that you seem to think it's not

it's me, I'm the guy buying physical disks in tyool 2022. not many but a few, because my connection sucks poo poo. I've got to say, they're getting a lot better at using HDR to good effect, Dune is really good even if I don't have "Dolby vision"

I like owning stuff on physical but I think I'm getting over it, especially since stuff is starting to go digital only. At least stuff on apple tv seems to have all the same special features you'd get on a disc

PLEX says I currently have 1701 movies, taking up 10.7TB of my 16TB 4bay NAS - and thats packratting a bunch of poo poo that will probably never be watched. There's a lot of stuff on there as well is old DVD or even VHS rips that never got a better release, so they only tot up a couple GB per movie max. Most of the remaining 5TB is TV series etc.

MP4 containers can't do that. e: MP4 also can't host VC-1 codec video either, i don't think? Which is like, at least 10% ? of blu rays out there roughly?

I picked it cuz i had to though and it's fine i literally don't get why you would pick anything else especially for such an established collection like mine Sniep fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jun 26, 2022 |
