If I were to redistribute or sell the digital content to others it would be illegal. All I'm doing is making a digital copy for backup and personal use. I own my media. This way if a disc ever goes bad it's okay because I have it backed up and my money wasn't lost.

Appreciate the time for the positive comment. Thanks.

@SteeleOfAllTrades absolutely man just subscribed too

👍

Change language in Plex or when ripping the DVD?

From my experience and my setup... 1. Disney + I can record in 480p most of the time. But since they also share stuff on HULU, if it is also on there you can get it at 720p (HD). Netflix is 1080p if it is a Netflix movie or show otherwise it is hit or miss if it is 1080 or 540. Most Sony productions are 540. 2. I'm not sure how just Audials Movie works. I can't even find how long the subscription is for on it. I assume one year but I couldn't even find that in writing. 3.) From my findings you can have it installed on several PCs at once however, you can only be using one PC at a time. I do not know if that is 100% accurate just based off some forums. Hope my answers helped a little bit at least. I'm using this mostly to build my digital library up. Yeah sometimes I get something in 540p but hey that's better than not having it... and later if it is available in higher definition then I'll get it again. That's how I view it anyways.

@@SteeleOfAllTrades thank you so much :)

Glad you found the video useful 👍

Hey, that's awesome to hear! Love hearing people's stories. Backing it up is important too so you'll have your media hopefully forever. Any advice on storage for physical collection of your HD- DVDs and Blu-rays?

@@SteeleOfAllTrades I'm using a 16TB 3.5" HDD with a docking station, If it fills up I'll get another one.

Sorry, I meant all of your physical discs and cases. I should have been more specific. I'm trying to find a cool way to store and display physical collection.

@ No, I will be selling them all, I don’t want anymore physical media. Actually I sold most of the HD-DVDs.

​@Capturing-Memories what if your hdd dies, you have these backed up elsewhere?

Yes, MakeMKV is free to download and use along with Handbrake. Handbrake can be used to convert or compress audio files.

Yes. I have Plex on all of our devices (TVs, phones, etc...) and then each person has a different account like my wife, in laws, parents etc... Each person can have their own Plex account linked to my media and being admin I can control who can see what so if a child had an account I could hide certain rated movies, and what not. Also, with individual accounts each person can like and favorite things how they want and it will keep their own individual watched progress. Much like a Netflix / Hulu setup.

@@SteeleOfAllTrades that's awesome, this video really help a lot

This one was a 2019. Year range should be 2014 - present.

Added to video title now. Thank you!

​@SteeleOfAllTrades thank you, I greatly appreciate the prompt reply, and the simple yet well done instructional video!

Love to hear it! Over time it adds up. Note that whenever you do use handbrake you are compressing data so some quality will be lost. Experiment what works best for you and your viewing experience. DVDs in my experience are easy to compress a little without visible loss. Plex, jellyfin, using local external ssd all of it is the same to me, a victory! Along your NAS journey don't get too caught up in quality and remember why you are doing it. Some people get too caught up in quality and worry too much about bitrate, resolution, how many movies they have, you name it. Enjoy building your collection. Movies are for the stories and memories. Not getting them on your NAS in the highest resolution and quality just to sit there. Thanks for checking out the video, leaving a quality comment, and I wish you the best.

I have an older internal HDD that I use. Nothing fancy. BUT I am upgrading to the Seagate Wolf Pro as my family is using Plex more and more now and my computer being on now more. I got a great deal on it and it's newer (2023 release) and it is designed for NAS and to always be on and doing things. What about yourself?

Thanks for checking out the video and explaining leverage. Glad the belt is not difficult on your vehicle for you.

I put that in the description too. Thank you though it is important. I think the owner may have used the cheap generic power steering fluid from auto part store but 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for checking out the video.

I wish you luck! Most difficult one I have come across yet. When you do get it on be sure to give yourself a pat on the back. You can tell your friends or coworkers and they'll nod their heads but they won't understand like anyone who has experienced it.

I've done it so many times on my mazda 6 Basically the same exact motor. use the double open end wrench technique. It will extend your wrench . Just get a wrench extender\ Or a pipe to go over your wrench.. Ten to twelve inches should be enough

I agree one hundred percent. Not a lot of people want to watch over an hour-long YT video. Thanks for the input!

Thanks!

Whoo that's a lot of movies! Check out my latest plex video of how I get netflix and hulu stuff into plex. I have chapters and overview as if it were your first time in plex setting up folders and getting started. I think maybe 9 minute mark or so it begins. Check description on it for exact chapters. So the server program (to turn on / off) your server is seperate than the plex library. The library (where you access your content) can be an app or accessed from a browser. I use the browser for no special reason just always done it that way. If you want the app you can download it from their website. In plex I have my movies all in there in alphabetical order as you saw but there is a category section on the top and you can create your own category or collections like Back to the future collection, and there is no need for special folder structures for that as you can do it all in plex. Also, yes you can point a category to a folder even if another category is also pointed to a folder elsewhere. The better file structure you have the better it will be for the future so your doing a good job planning ahead. But ultimately you tell Plex the pathway to the movie files and if it ever changes its not too hard to tell it the change amd make the correction. Great questions! Hopefully I answered you okay if not let me know and I'll try again lol. Good luck on your home media journey! I love to see people get started in this no matter the approach!

PLEX is awesome! I've been using it for many years. One thing to know is that if you want to watch it outside of your home with the app, you'll have to open a port for it on your router(port forward). You also have to allow it to pass through your firewall with a simple rule click in your Windows firewall settings. Otherwise, you won't have access outside your local network. You can find a few YT videos on how to do it. I have an HD Homerun streamer which allows OTA TV to link with PLEX which enables me to watch local TV over my home network and on my tablet or phone anywhere including is other states.

@@WalkersLawn thank you for the additional information. Will need to work through the various methods you discussed. Lots to learn still. Trying to decide if I put all my family home videos on plex or just a couple key ones.

This is what I like to hear, whoo!! Awesome! Good job!

a) Where are you recording from? (Hulu, UA-cam, Netflix)? b) Is the program 100% complete or are you stopping recording manually at a point like when credits roll?

I just had this issue couple hours ago, I just made some ectra space on my drive and it seems to be fixed now

Yeah 480 doesn't bother me. I don't watch movies for the quality. I watch them for the story or humor. Glad you have a setup that works for you and to each their own! Everyone has a different A/V setup and viewing experience and opinions. Cool that you can do it so fast if that's what you like.

@@SteeleOfAllTrades

@@SteeleOfAllTrades100 percent

I'll pass the message along!

Congrats! I love hearing about people starting their own media server. There are many ways to do it. Don't forget to experiment and find what works best for you and your A/V configurations.

Awesome to hear! I love hearing stories of people starting their media server collection. When you mention trimming videos are you talking about things like credits on movies or editing home video recordings?

@ What I’m starting with is SlingTV and video on the DVR of movies I’ve recorded and would like to save off the DVR (and cut the monthly fee). (I have both the Cloud DVR as well as AirTV with attached storage for OTA). I figured out fairly quickly on how to stream and record the content , however I would like to trim or cut a few frames at the beginning and end of the movie so it’s tidy. (I’m sure the same would apply if cleaning up TV by removing the ads). I realize it’s not necessary to be that picky but if it’s not that complicated I’d like to do it neater than quicker. The cut versus crop and saving or exporting I haven’t managed to execute. Any instruction there would be greatly appreciated! I’ve recorded two movies so far and they look fantastic so I’m on the right track to getting everything organized and streamlined once and for all. Thanks again!!

Looks like you already know! Awesome! Yeah, in this instance if It's taking off beginning or end snippets Audials can do that similar to the ad removal process you just click on the pen/edit of the file in Audials and then once you are on the edit screen select "cut" on bottom left and click on a part of the movie to make a "cut" and then again to make another "cut". after this range is made you can manually move/select the range of frames you want removed like I showed in the video of the ad removal process. Even if you don't record in Audials you should be able to link your media folder to Audials, then find it in the program. That's where you can click the edit button on the video. Idk if that was a good explanation lol. I am going to be making a video soon on cutting a file into several parts with importing/exporting into another free program soon if Audials doesn't work for you. BUT Audials is nice because in the editing mode you can see frame by frame visually what you are cutting. I don't judge. The more care and effort you put into your media collection and organization the more you appreciate it. I'm all for that. audials.com/en/blog/start/2022/audials-tips-how-cut-videos-and-create-own-playlists

Glad the video helped! I see you commenting on several of my videos. Thank you for taking the time to do so. Safe travels for the holidays!

Glad the video helped you out

I'll pass along the message to the good boy. Thanks!

I know a few people that also use DVDFab and also enjoy it. Seems like a great product. Is it free or paid application?

@@SteeleOfAllTrades It is a pay platform. They have lifetime prices as well, once and done.

This is great advice thank you! I've always seen it on my bank's app but never used it. If this is possible this is even a better route than writing a check. Thanks so much for tip. Going to pin your comment to the top.

Going to a dealership sucks. The time and the money. Especially for little things like a bulb. Glad the video helped!

Me either

Probably would have cost $300

Blu ray will give you higher quality or resolution than DVD. Blu ray is normally 1080 and DVD is normally 480. Personally, when I do Blu Ray I don't use handbrake. I will keep .mkv file. I only compress DVD because the data it saves and I couldn't see a difference.

@@SteeleOfAllTrades thx

@@SteeleOfAllTrades how badly do you find it compresses the Blu ray? also, what's the typical file size of a Blu ray disc compared to a DVD before you use handbrake Thanks for the tutorial 😃

@@JoshuaEdwards-n5g Great questions! So, a blue ray is typically 1920 x 1080. After compression using handbrake with my same settings typically it will come out to be 1920 x 816. Don't get me wrong this is still HD. To a normal person if you do not tell them... They probably won't notice the difference. I usually only buy blu rays if it is a movie or series I love. File size wise DVD I would say 3 - 4 GB before and less than 1 GB after handbrake. Blu Ray has a lot more variance from my experience. Could be 10 - 20 GB maybe and after again it varies but could be 5 - 8 GB. It really differs on the amount of compression you do, type of file, subtitles, audio, and more. You could compress a 1080 blu ray to 2 GB if you wanted to and it might look okay on mobile but on a large widescreen probably hot garbage. If I buy a blu ray it's because I really like that movie and want to enjoy it in its HD quality in both audio and video that's why I tend to stay away from compression personally. I know you didn't ask but I don't even mess with 4k. I'm content with 1080. 4k is too much data for my current budget to be playing with.

@@SteeleOfAllTrades thanks for the answers! I think I’ll end up doing the same and not compressing Blu rays, I wouldn’t mind dabbling with some 4k’s just out of curiosity but they’re going to be a beefy file size aren’t they👀

Thanks! Dvd fab looks like decent software. But looks like it cost money too? What features of dvd fab do you use besides ripping? Says it can upscale and what not. Have you tried this feature and if so what are your thoughts on it?

It's a nifty tool to know how to operate. Awesome that it is free to use. Thanks for taking the time to leave a good review and checking out the video.

Glad the video helped you

Thanks! I have planned to do an updated one soon. I've learned a lot in the past year using Plex on different devices. Stay Tuned!

@@SteeleOfAllTrades I will definately be on the lookout for it!

Glad the video helped you!

I haven't had one fail on me yet... (knock on wood). But on my current setup they are only 3-4 years old. 18TB is a beast! That's awesome! Have you had one fail on you before?

Tyson says thank you for checking out the video! 🐶

Hey, check out my new video! I found a program that allows you to record your streams in same and better than dvd quality and get them on your Plex! I'm going to make an updated Plex video here soon as well. Thanks for takimg the time to leave a positive comment!

Hey, thanks for the tip! To clarify are you saying that compressing the mkv file is much faster for you versus compressing an mp4 file?

Yeah, these running lights are horrible. No matter the brand they go out for me way more than any of my other vehicle's running lights. $120 is crazy for a bulb replacement even though it is time consuming. FYI I've been able to remove only a portion of the wheel well cover and get my hand back there enough to get the bulb out and replace it. I only did that for the video so I could show what I was doing and not everyone has skinny hands like me to get it out. Best of luck! Glad you found this video helpful and saves you money!

The one in the video is a 2019

Are you talking about this one here? www.ebay.com/itm/314510044013

Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah just a regular bulb. I'm not sure what a sport bulb is.

Awesome! Glad the video helped you and you didn't have to take out all the dumb plastic clips. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Then it could be of numerous issues. Fuse, wiring, bulb socket itself etc... Sorry I couldn't be of more help for this video. Would require in person diagnosing.

Thanks! Yeah I've experienced that too. Hit a pot hole and suddenly notification goes away lol. Poorly designed. Never had such issues with running lights on any other vehicle personally.

Thanks for checking out the video!
