If get a concert blu-ray, for example, I make an bit-perfect MKV (using MakeMKV).
#Mkv 264 in 1080p or 720p movie
Also, the mobo had about 8 sata ports, so I using 3TB drives, it's not nearly as much as you think.įrankly, I would not own "Eat, Pray, Love" and I do agree with you that for that movie I would not care about 720 vs 1080 (or the bit-rate used for encodes).īTW, I use a combination of MKVs, ISOs (for blu-ray), and file folders (for DVDs). Only the hard drives and sata cards were added. I'm using a 4 or 5 year old system (mobo, power supply, case, vid card) for the core of my movie server. I'd never buy special server hardware to build a server. I keep track of what goes where and if I disc dies I replace just that part.and in my own 's not critical to have movies on a is about convenience and using old tech.if I really want to watch something, I can just load the plastic. Personally, I don't see any good reason to keep raid+backup as I buy my stuff and the originals are backup. Also, anyone who actually does this isn't spending 1 to 2 hours attending to a movie rip.you're doing something else. The time to rip if you are just copying (i.e., a bit-perfect rip) rather than transcoding is way less than that. By picking and choosing in a thoughtful manner, the average cost of storage movie is much lower and thus the cost of convenience appears to have a much better value. A 25GB movie thus costs $3.75 to store + electricity. Thus you are loking ~$0.15/GB of effective storage.

You are looking a cost of $900 (assume some sort of free OS, pre flood prices). Lets say you bought an HP microserver 4x2TB drives in RAID5 + another 3x2TB for backup (assume you have some sort of dock for SATA drives). Therefore you are looking at some sort of RAID + backup. If you have 100+ movies, a system failure on that would result in a stupid amount of time to rebuild.
The time to rip a blu-ray disc is ~60-120 minutes. Honeslty, if you think a movie like "Eat, Pray, Love" is sooo much better in 1080p vs 720p, I just have to roll my eyes. I do what should be the correct action for the event being driven. Just because my car can do a 160 MPH doesn't mean I drive it at that speed all the time.
