@onfy I think I have some
@onfy kinda funny that they opted to go with two discs for the Tomb Raider 2-disc "collector's edition"
@noiob How old is it? I usually only see really old releases do that, but maybe Europe gets shittier versions?
@onfy 2010
@noiob German release is even older? This is more typical for 2010! Dual layer movies became dominant in the early 10s.
@noiob And it may or may not be an HD DVD port as well in this case. Nice.
@noiob ASSDAFSDFSD IT USES MPEG 2 I JUST NOTICED??? OH MAN.
@noiob Ah. The American release is MPEG-2 but the German release seems to be VC-1.
...what the hell!!!
@onfy Arrival isn't single-layer but they still don't have the whole movie as one file, wild https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Arrival-Blu-ray/169125/
2001: A Space Odyssey puts 10GB onto a dual-layer disc https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/2001-A-Space-Odyssey-4K-Blu-ray/219171/
@onfy most anime I've seen just doesn't care
@noiob Yeah, it really depends.
It seems like Germany is getting quite a bit of anime on blu-ray these days actually, pretty impressive.
@onfy yeah the local electronics/media store has a small shelf full of all kinds of stuff, mostly parts of box sets lol
@noiob They come with firmware updates? Wow! Thanks!
@onfy handy, isn't it?
@noiob I can imagine people buying Sony blus who don't want to update their PS3 (maybe they like using linux???) and feeling severe blue balls when it won't play...
@onfy it's actually really easy to hack your PS3
@noiob Yes, in 2023.
10 years ago? Eh...
btw, apparently Tomb Raider got a new transfer in France. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Lara-Croft-Tomb-Raider-Blu-ray/288514/
@onfy oh, that's a hell of a cover
@noiob It must be a hell of an upgrade on picture quality, I'd hope anyway, it's AVC and dual layer.
@onfy I mean there's already a 4K version
@noiob That's probably an improvement as well. Uh, good.
@onfy I wonder how good the HD bluray in that set is https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Tomb-Raider-4K-Blu-ray/199940/
@onfy ah shit wrong movie
@onfy actually I'm checking my Arrival files and they don't stop before the end, I think my rip's simply bad
@onfy or rather my transcode
@noiob I jut use XReveal (sadly only for Windows) to create ISOs of everything...
Takes insane space though.
@onfy makemkv for the win
@onfy and then I throw it at handbrake
@noiob I did end up using it to copy a BD+ disc (what bastard DRM), but not transcoding still.
@onfy I should get myself a drive, actually, for now I'm just handing friends discs and microSDs
@noiob Yeah, there's a few stores I like to go to when I have money.
Kicking myself for passing on Rescue Rangers, they had copies for $15...
@noiob Yeah, usually they have translated credits too. Also some anime uses this so they can have the credits in Japanese as well as translated to English.
