@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/
@noiob I usually see this splitting being used (particularly by Disney) for internationalization, so when the title comes up there's one file for English, French, etc... and seamless bridging is used to combine the different pieces together.
Silliest blu I've ever seen was The Polar Express, it was around 10GB iirc and the movie was VC-1. Yikes. Oh well, it's also a terrible movie...
@onfy it's the end in that case, I guess they could've done it for the credits?
@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.
@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
@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 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...
