These are also direct disc rips. No downloads. That’s actual discs in hand, ripping, saving, typing. It’s mostly from my amazing city library, the local video store, borrowing, and then the rest are purchases.

I’d suggest Handbrake, to at least re-encode those rips. IME file sizes can be reduced anywhere from 20-50% compared to direct disc rips.

I do use handbrake. I should have been more specific. I just mean’t to say that it’s not like a bunch of low quality Pirate Bay downloads. That actual discs were used. So many discs. So many that I actually have a pile of dead readers because I used them to death.
