I went on a little odyssey today. I wanted to put my game and the soundtrack on a CD. Unfortunately, the format is lacking some of the features I hoped it would have. But it does work! And it is really cool :)

haze on it. I've never seen something like that on a blu-ray. Also thoose dvds had a copyright of 2013 and defnetly seen older blurays.

I feel seen.

The optical disc onslaught continues, with LG quitting Blu-ray players:
Streaming uncertainty has some people clinging to their discs.

Blurays are the creation of master ragebaiters, you're telling me a single layer bluray witha lil scratch can't be cleanly ripper but a double layer bluray with 5+ scratches including 2 over 5cm long gets ripped fine. Like wtf man this is bullshit.

My media pc is getting worse. Now it won't read some double layer blurays. Am I cooked?

apparently the twin peaks full series bluray box containts 10 blurays in one box which is mind boggling to me.

I just found out that apparently if your disk drive is too dirty it will scratch the optical medium that's inserted. HOW FUCKING DIRTY MUST IT BE FOR THAT TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

Apparently the Mission Impossible 7.1 bonus bluray is 4,67GB which is almost as small as a single layer DVD. which crackhead though that was a good idea.

I fucking hate it when stuff on DVD looks like ass. I know that you can make it look good but big companies literally dont give a fuck. So now most dvds look like ass.

Interestingly single layer blurays have higher tolerance for scratches.

I can't belive I stopped ripping bd for 2 weeks because 1 bd couldn't get recognised by the system and I though my bd drive or the os was broken.
