I’m getting a tad frustrated with the movies that get downloaded by my radarr setup. Mostly its the letterboxing being encoded in the file which on an ultrawide results in a full black border. Also just shoddy quality even on huge files.
With anime there is seadex and some reviewers here and there that give opinions on the best release to grab, but is there something like that for movies or is there only trash guides? One of the things that I’ve seen in anime reviews is that sometimes the bluray is plain old worse quality compared to the streaming platforms. Does anyone know of places where that gets noted?
Should I just download the largest file and get hardware encode and decode supporting gpu? Will I have encryption problems if I self encode from disk rips instead of using media player ready files?
This is kinda what I’m currently doing. Everything manually and several times 20-60gb later the file is junk for one reason or another. It would be handy if there was some kind of release group ranking but I haven’t seen it if it exists, and the odd comment with peoples favourites are mostly names I’ve only seen once or twice if at all. Then many of the groups I’ve picked out of the hat have inconsistent quality.
I guess I’ll just have to keep going until I have my own ranking list.
