What's the easiest/best way to make my own blurays? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Obviously I won't share where I've gotten my files over the years for media but as a physical collector as well, the prices for some bluray collections of things is outrageous and would like to make my own that look somewhat professional. I have a bluray burner and blank bluray discs.

You need something like tmpgenc to make Blu-ray compliant discs

I don't really understand this though, the cost per GB of a blank double layer bluray is higher than an hard drive. Just store Blu-ray images (or direct rips) on the disc and access them on your device. In this way you don't need to worry about disc damages, bad burns, lost media, and so on.

At the price of a disc + the time to source and take a full disc rip + the time to source a good scan of the cover and disc surface + printing labels and covers + the bluray box (you said you want to look professional so you aren't planning to just keep them in a spindle and use a sharpie, right?) You're basically paying almost the same of a real disc

so if you burn a ISO of a movie for instance on the blank bluray disc, the bluray player will recognize it as a typical bluray movie?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

If you can find Blu-ray isos, yes (if it fits your blank bd25 or bd50, if it's one of those newer bd75 or bd100 it must be re encoded)

But they're not easy to find

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why?

If you already have the ripped copies, they're easier and more convenient to browse and watch, you're basically just filling up your shelves with worthless coasters.

such is the life of a hoarder...err i mean organized collector.. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This very much reads as asking how to become a bootlegger/scalper.

Yeah.. I wanted to get 4k collection of lotr and hp, but it's too much expensive. Then I downloaded the iso's and wanted to burn them.. And it would be much cheaper to just buy the whole damn collection, so I just browse it digitally.

Is bd the type of Disc?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fastest way? Burn it as a data disc. You can also use software to create a menu but it's not something you can do with FOSS, you will probably need to pay a lot for the software

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is piracy community, why would I pay for software lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because I don't think it's popular enough to have been pirated

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

so what one is popular enough to torrent?

There are many user-friendly Blu-ray burning programs available that can guide you burn blu ray disc. Just make sure you have a compatible Blu-ray burner and blank discs before you start.
