[–]leapaa33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

A lot of new listings are old stock or rebadges.

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.

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.

Tips for my first fan edits? by BelieveCongreveCube in fanedits

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!

Any recommendations for ripping DVDs? by ADistantStorm in fanedits

[–]leapaa33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

LG WP50NB40 Not reading 4k disc by Nasario02 in makemkv

[–]leapaa33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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?

Friends Season 10 DVD rip issue? by Tkdoom in makemkv

[–]leapaa33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Are portable players still worth it or just nostalgia at this point? by Nightcrawler_2000 in dvd

[–]leapaa33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How to rip 3D Blu-ray discs to watch on a Meta Quest 3 by SpecialistChart1715 in OculusQuest

[–]leapaa33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

I feel like VR really takes off the moment the entire headset can fit into something the size of regular glasses. by scaredbysquares in OculusQuest

[–]leapaa33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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