    I have a lot of DVDs that are not currently to be found on the high seas, there are certain things I would upgrade to blu ray at the right price but for the most part you have different masters or cuts or colour grading and there are certainly things recorded in SD that are never getting a blu ray release, like concerts or other live events, because there is no high def master. I even buy concerts on VHS when I find them.

    I’m a firm believer in physical media even if that media is a spinning disk in my NAS.

    My physical media collection isn’t replacing streaming, jellyfin is.

      🤔 I can not believe that those DVD are not in the seas…

      Have you some examples I could check?

        most of the stuff I would point to is surprisingly up just with zero seeds, so they are probably out there on private trackers.

        Was not expecting an Anthony Hopkins movie to give a null result thought Blunt the fourth man

        Not even on his IMDB page which is strange.

        I feel like throwing golden age musicals at you would be cheating because no one actually cares about musicals :P

          Have you ever considered uploading some of this? The original Beavis and Butthead was patched back together using a combination of sources including VHS and DVD releases and uploaded to the high seas as the “King Turd Collection.” This stuff could be valuable to others.

            Yeah I’ve read about that collection. Because the officially released versions were either missing content or were inferior.

          Yea, private tracker for torrent or private indexer for usenet are a must.

          Edit: But even with those, I was not able to find the fourth man from 1986…

          This is on the way to get lost media 🫢 anyone who seeds this, or uploads it to usenet is a true hero

          We can not loose more media, it is our culture, we gotta fight for it, for our children, please 🙏🏻
