The Blu-Ray Reauthoring Project

I'm a little puzzled as to why he's so set on having a physical disc as output. If this is for personal use, wouldn't it be easier to just rip the episodes to mp4 using Handbrake, which can also add subtitles? And once you've got eps as separate files, no need for menus.

I buy a fair few Blu-Rays, but I've never watched one directly. It's just a distribution format for me.

Yeah. I take the UNIX approach to media storage, everything is a file.

If it's not a file, that's probably due to some anti-user nonsense (a dvd, bluray, whatever could just be an FS with an mp4/mkv/whatever file on it, but it's not, 'cos DRM.). A challenge, then.

Given the mention of menus, I could readily imagine someone who uses a Blu-Ray player as their viewing device of choice, and prefers the approach of keeping a library of discs.

Hey there, author here. I mainly wanted to have physical discs so I could have them stored in the collector's edition boxes that can with the original Japanese discs. If I just wanted the video out, then I would've been done in a week!
