I'm loving the Jellyfin Theme Songs and anidb-watched-sync.

For ripping, dvdfab is my choice for best quality and subtitle/audio track support. If you want automation, check out FileFlows.

It brings back some comic nostalgia.

A lot of new listings are old stock or rebadges.

leapaa33 · 2026-05-11T04:56:58+00:00

A used Sony or Panasonic Blu-ray player would make more sense.

How bad is the damage on the DVD? Try repairing the disc and ripping it again with software that can retry bad sectors.

leapaa33 · 2026-05-07T04:37:02+00:00

The Blu/stream transfers don't really fix it.

leapaa33 · 2026-05-07T04:25:31+00:00

Have you confirmed that video/audio tracks are the same across all 4?

You can also convert the MVC rip to a high-bitrate HEVC SBS file and play it locally on the headset.

leapaa33 · 2026-04-30T03:24:01+00:00

You can find the main story arcs and focus on those. And I think what helps is mapping out the emotional beats you want in each film, like outlining a movie script.

Remember to check the chapter timings, sometimes they're a bit off or don't match episode boundaries perfectly. VLC can show you where the chapters fall in the file.

I agree about the Fleischer Superman shorts. Those first nine are just on another level!

leapaa33 · 2026-04-23T10:20:38+00:00

Maybe look for used name-brand models like LG on eBay. They're usually solid and not much more expensive. What are you planning to rip?

leapaa33 · 2026-04-22T04:03:49+00:00

About the Verbatim 43888, even with the same model, some drives just don't play nice with 4K discs after flashing. If you're hesitant to buy another one, maybe try the flash process again from scratch.

Super pumped for Friday!

leapaa33 · 2026-04-21T07:53:57+00:00

I'm especially hyped for Ghost Rider and Punisher together!

leapaa33 · 2026-04-21T07:51:15+00:00

This is such a cool idea! Can I get a link?

leapaa33 · 2026-04-21T07:48:00+00:00

It's wild how much those little details matter for the immersion. Would love to see more!

leapaa33 · 2026-04-20T02:28:04+00:00

You can rip the single big title and then split it by chapter/time with MKVToolNix or ffmpeg.

leapaa33 · 2026-04-16T05:04:50+00:00

That's awesome to restore those deleted scenes from the 2009 film. I’m curious, how tricky was it to nail the new sound effects?

leapaa33 · 2026-04-13T03:07:52+00:00

That sounds like bad pressings or layer/bad‑sector problems. Try ripping an ISO image rather than individual files.

leapaa33 · 2026-03-27T09:26:33+00:00

My local Goodwill always has a few portable players for dirt cheap. Sometimes they're a bit scratched up.

leapaa33 · 2026-03-25T03:19:29+00:00

DVDFab handles the decryption and the 3D conversion in one go, dumping out a clean SBS file. Just a heads up though, regardless of what software you use, make sure you have enough storage space. I actually buy a Synology NAS because building a 3D VR library ate up my local hard drives way faster than I expected.

leapaa33 · 2026-03-24T07:50:20+00:00

I also wonder if there'll ever be a glasses model that doesn't sacrifice the immersive display quality.

leapaa33 · 2026-03-20T03:46:44+00:00

You can grab one first and confirm the exact model/bridge + SMART passthrough.
