Why does /tv/ waste their money on these when they are free to download online?
Official Blurays don't even contain lossless data. They are literally h264 compressed video burned to disc. It's no different than when certain people burn discs and try to sell you them on the street.
They are a lossy format. As lossy as an mp3 download.
Why do you pay for these when you aren't even getting a truly lossless disc?
>>69944744
>Why does /tv/ waste their money on these when they are free to download online?
Because that's illegal, you moron. I own about 150 Blu-rays, and I'm always buying more. It's a wonderful feeling getting a new Criterion Blu-ray and knowing I'm supporting future releases from that company. I love buying great movies.
>>69944928

Talking about being scammed. What do you think your downloading?

>>69945219
That's why they shrink it down to shit Bluray size and make you pay $19.99 for it.
You're a sucker.
>>69944744

>>69945378
>Dammit so my iTunes movies are worse than BDs right?
They are literally worse than the worst Bluray encodes on piracy channels.
And you paid more than half of what a Bluray costs.
You are a bigger sucker than the Bluray buyers.
>>69945413
Always pirate movies and TV. Never pay. Only Walmart-tier Americans do this.

>>69945593

>>69944744
DCI is also a lossy format (MJPEG). Why do people pay to go see movies if they aren't uncompressed like film?
>>69945636
Not to mention the excellent booklets that come with Criterions.
>>69944744
As a general rule it is much easier for a lot of people to simply buy shit instead of stealing it. There's a tipping point where spending money on a movie is simply easier, less risk free etc than pirating.
Some people like collecting shit, displaying at it and simply looking at their shit, however worthless that shit objectively is.
As for he quality issue the amount of people that will notice is approaching zero, so if they fall into the above categories it's not an issue.
>>69945692
>people that have money to buy things are poorfags
what kind of fucked up logic is this?
>>69944744
is anything truly truly truly lossless?
Pirate and Buy, Pirate and Buy. Pirate a movie or TV show, and if you like it...Buy it to support it.
for years I have used piracy as a means of rental and it works well for me since Blockbuster, Hollywood video, and Family Video all bit the dust. Download and send to my PLEX server, and watch on my TV through a PLEX enabled roku 3.

>>69945782

This logic is worse. Even Mexicans working at McDonalds can buy your Blurays.
It's best not to pay at all.
>>69945159
Agreed, their library just has so much more variety. Criterion focuses far too much on post-war euro stuff
>>69945832

Actually for the digital projection part I'm extraordinarily triggered because the apathy of the plebs is ruining the market for actual, analog, film projection.
As far as the plastic circles thingy goes, they might as well not even eat for weeks in order to buy those. I could maybe argue that it's also damaging because they're unnecessarily polutting the environment, but I don't really give enough fucks about that personally, so pretend that I haven't argued that.

If you're a film fan, collecting video is sort of like marijuana. Laser discs, they're definitely cocaine. Film prints are heroin, all right? You're shooting smack when you start collecting film prints. So I kinda got into it in a big way, and I've got a pretty nice collection I'm real proud of.

You don't get what I'm saying.
If it's merely your method of exposing yourself to movies that you want to see, then by all means go for it.
But calling it a ""collection"" implies belief that the damn plastic discs carry some value, almost as a historical source.
When they don't. All you're doing is producing demand for shit that will pollute the environment when it becomes obsolete in a decade or two.
We have literally gained nothing by getting video rental stores out of business. Video renting should be brought back (at reasonable, competitive prices), and the Netflix/hulu/amazon streaming circlejerk should literally be banned. First they overtook the video rental store market, and now they're ruining that market by offering gradually less, and shittier, content -- turning people to buying discs instead.

And I'm not saying you should throw away your BluRays. As a matter of fact, if the situation already is what it is, a great practice moving forward could be to re-establish borrowing BluRays between friends, creating small film-afficionado city communities or whatever.
And bringing bach video rental chains ffs. So much pollution literally for nothing.

ITT underage kids who don't understand video compression. On a well-produced BD the compression will not be noticeable on standard home theatre equipment. I challenge you to watch a compressed and uncompressed video side by side and point out the difference.
>>69948284
At least try to make your b8 believable. I'm a vinylfag myself but I'll be the first to admit that vinyl degrades faster than optical media.
>>69949053
Only retards don't pirate everything.
Seeing the difference now isn't the reason to burn to HD-DVD. HD-DVDs uses lossless compression, while Bluray is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the Bluray sits on your harddrive, it will lose roughly 12p, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15p on IDE, but only 7p on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on other optical media.
I started collecting Blurays in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the films I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 1080p, they just look like crap. The sharpness is terrible, the gamma...well don't get me started. Some of those films have degraded down to 32 or even 16p. HD-DVD rips from the same period still look great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to HD-DVD, you may not be able to see the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.
>>69949280
>At least try to make your b8 believable. I'm a vinylfag myself but I'll be the first to admit that vinyl degrades faster than optical media.

This thread is pure cancer and literally everyone is wrong as usual.
I cannot for the life of me watch a pirated movie any longer. I can pick out the artifacts and compression so quickly it's painful. The worst DVD looks 1000x better than 99% of rips online.
On top of that, there are so few true BR rips out there, and even when there are, it usually has one fucking seeder in Dubai.
I put that shit in the trash a long time ago. There are far better ways to watch movies and keep a beautiful uncompressed BR digital collection than pirating or abusing/wasting money redbox.
Get creative lads. And I'm not talking about just straight up fucking stealing either. Risk to reward ratio is so ridic and also morals.

>>69950242
No one's, even though I wish I were gay. Life would be so much easier. Women are goddamn insane. I digress. The secret is patently obvious and one of the most underrated tools on the fucking planet. It's called a library card. If you're in college, live remotely near the city, or have a local library on a large statewide network (should cover 90%+ of the idiots here), you can get an absurd number of films, all on blu-ray. Zero cost, faster than most seeders on the other side of the planet, and usually cover a wonderful dearth of fantastic rare films (like entire sets of the criterion collection).
>>69950510
>that takes fucking MONTHS for some uncommon films that I want to watch.
Takes minutes for me. Name a movie you think is too hard to download.
>>69949378
It's literally made of plastic. Temperature, moisture, and other factors can degrade vinyl and you don't even have to play it. Fuck, stacking vinyl on top of each other laterally can wreck them.
>>69950591
I should've clarified. Movies/shows that are in uncompressed quality. You can find damn near anything in a compressed format. I have honestly no interest in it any longer. It's painful to watch.

I honestly haven't searched in a long time (at least 2 or 3 years), but recall I had a hell of a time finding uncompressed rips of One Outs, Baraka, and Glengarry Glen Ross when I used to hunt out downloads.
And even more disappointed that when you do find one they seem to be shitty/compressed/not matching other quality rips people are getting on a BR disc.
>>69950663
preserved vinyl records can last decades. hard drives fail too.
>>69950914
Yeah, because they're moving parts. SSD's get worn out as well. Literally everything degrades no matter what. He's (assuming you're not the same person) asserting that vinyl doesn't degrade if you don't do anything with it no matter what. It is a very delicate object made out of polyvinyl chloride. They used to be made out of Shellac, which was even more delicate. Shit broke if you looked at it funny. It's just a dumb fucking meme that neo-hipsters perpetuate claiming that modern day records aren't shit.
>>69951038
Ya that's way better than when I was searching years ago. Honestly shocked to see 8 seeders on the ~44 gb uncompressed.
Still, it's still probably faster to just literally put in a request at the library for me, than to wait for 44gb to trickle down.
But point taken, color me impressed.

nice collection anon

>Still, it's still probably faster to just literally put in a request at the library for me, than to wait for 44gb to trickle down.
Some of those are running high speed servers so the speed would be your line speed.
>>69945378
Ouch! My wallet hurts just looking at that.
I don't care about owning them, I just want to pay money for movies I pirated and liked.
>>69949778
Or you can pirate the software, wow that was hard
>>69953074
>I just want to pay money for movies I pirated and liked.
Then give away your Blurays.
>>4 K
But the best copy I can get is the bluray disc since I can't do anything with mt2s films but encode them?
I only own blurays I really like. But they are better quality than 27 or 35g rips i have. What am I doing wrong?

Normies were starting to learn to pirate, but then streaming became popular.
I have never even held a Bluray in my hand much less bought one.
I don't like pirating. I have zero issue with other people doing it, but I personally do not partake.
Unless it is porn, I pirate more porn in a month than some people see in a year.
>>69949778
Can't you just use mpv or vlc?

How does it feel to be a filthy profligate?
>>69944744
lel you realise you need someone to upload that shit for you to download it right?
>>69957909
Then they convert it to something else so you can watch it on your computer and compress it.

>>69948442 just got fucking owned by >>69948591
haha faggot, get fucking rek'd
But it's comfy to have a collection of films that would otherwise be difficult to watch sitting on your bookshelf anon. Surely you must do that with every type of media right? I mean you'd sound like a pretty big hypocrite if it turned out you bought games or albums you like.
Netflix/HBO for convenience, torrents for obscurekino and current shows.Blu-ray never ever.
>>69958253
>torrents for obscurekino
Actual hard to find films are rarely available in torrent form. There's certain films you literally couldn't see without renting/buying it on DVD/Blu Ray.
I can't wait to buy a new slim-trak LMT-TV for the new 4:40 format. It's an insanely huge (but slim) rectangle that allows you to see the fucking shit out of the the periphery...all you have to do is squint and find the center. BUT IT'S NEWWWWW thank god

>Actual hard to find films are rarely available in torrent form. There's certain films you literally couldn't see without renting/buying it on DVD/Blu Ray.
Or just use private trackers.
>>69947456
Where the fuck is Drive
I don't seed my torrents. We're all thieves and I don't give a fuck if I'm the only one able to help others.
>>69945236
Yes, goy, paying for a service that took time and resources to create is a scam!
>>69960219
good thing I use private trackers so I can avoid you
Does buying the blueray really help? Isnt it the movie tickets that count?
Isnt blueray dvd vhs sales just extra money to them? The gravy?
>>69960310
>paying money to torrent
And don't fucking lie on a malaysian origami board and claim that you don't, because you fucking do.
>>69960452
I don't. Why would I need a seedbox?
>>69960452
What is it with people thinking you have to pay on private trackers? Only the most autistic archivefags pay for a seedbox, the big majority don't.
>>69960484
>>69960481
>lying on 4chan
What's the matter with you?
>>69960452
Only 1/3 of users on private trackers have seedboxes, and that changes depending on the tracker, but not by much.
Maybe if you used private trackers, you'd know
>>69960527
We are not lying. I don't pay a dime and I have literally a dozen private tracker accounts.
>>69960527
Whatever makes you sleep as night, fox.
>>69944928
Well it's safer than a hard drive collection, i'll give you that. You're still a pleb tho
>>69945132
What are truly loseless, commercial formats?
>>69947732
Physical Media won't be going anywhere. It'll exist alongside digital distribution as a superior (but less convenient) option, much like Laserdisc and VHS existed along side each other.
>>69947732
Vinyl records are still sold
>>69944744
DVD>Pirate
I wont buy anything shit quality but dvd will always beat torrent due to the miniaturized bitrate, unless you want to download a 40gb movie erytime
>>69961173
yea to retarded hipsters. some fatass bought a bunch of old record presses is laffin' all the way to bank.
>>69960856
There's no such thing
None of you know wtf you are even talking about ITT
At least you said h.264 and not x.264 like a complete idiot
Certain audio profiles are lossless on Blu-ray , that's basically the point
What do you think all that transcoding is for in media servers, the video?

>>69947371
>>69947411

You own maybe 3 or 4 good movies out of all of those.
Fuck Jewrays
>>69947371

>>69947456
Don't listen to them anon, you have magnificent collection! So many good films, I'm jealous.
>>69950238
>dvd better quality than rips??
Wut.. isn't it obvious that almost any blu ray rip except for the most insanely compressed shitty ones are superior to DVDs? I get all those "lines" all over the picture with DVD.
>>69966781
>jealous of fucking plastic
lol why are Americans this retarded?
>>69960856
>What are truly loseless, commercial formats?
None. Video is HUGE and we don't have storage enough for lossless.
>there are people who have an entire shelf of movies about to be deprecated by 4K
>>69947456
no Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers?
>>69948673
Nope.
>>69949783
You're fucked re private trackers, but you can pretty much get everything you want elsewhere...

What's the best public or free membership sites for high quality films?
Personally I use PrivateHD.to but its somewhat new so the library isn't that massive.
>>69949372
>blurays in 2001
The first batch of movies to be released on bluray came out in 2006.
Blu Ray has the best sound, best picture quality and lots of extras for fans. I can change the language and subtitles.
This information might have been useful (it wouldn't have been) when blu-ray was still relevant, but who the fuck gives a shit about blu-ray at this point? Or to be honest, at any point for that matter?
Certainly not enough to perk up their interest to a thread title in all caps.
I buy only movies i really enjoy and will watch it more than 5 times.
Why should i download movie every time i want to see it.
>>69969335
HDBits.org but you'll never ever get in
>>69969989
story of my life
Why is there no service where you can officially buy & download movies with the top quality and extras?
>>69967594
this aint plastic this is films that can be inserted in computer and being watched. also i'm not american.
>>69970014
A semi viable alternative is A-HD (awesome HD) which is easy to get in.
Just get into what.cd or animebyt.es and make PU and you're in. You need a 3 months old account though but if you have a 6 month old account you can join PassThePopcorn.me as well on both sites. You need to be elite on what.cd however but still only power user on animebyt.es
HDB is home to THE best encoders on the entire net and they've recently stopped allowing their encodes to be leaked so if you want true , true HD film you'll have to become a member.
No one really knows where they recruit anymore though , some say biblotik and some say pass the popcorn but I have no idea.
A friend invited me to HDB personally.
It's been the hardest tracker to get into other than BTN for years now
>>69948047
this desu if you have a job and still steal shit online you probably have low morals and are a edgy cunt. i used to back in highschool torent before i buy but as soon as i got a job i dont give a fuck and buy whatever i want whenever i want even if i end up not liking it. feels good tbqh
>>69970144
That's not gay at all
>>69970192
>if you have a job and still steal shit online you probably have low morals and are a edgy cunt
*tips fedora*
>>69970264

>>69970144
