bygetting ideas about how you would attempt to recreate a blu ray menu with clever web technology usage.
and in the absence of that I'm at least trying to maintain all the stuff in my digital rips that you would need to perform that conversion.
Criterion movies don't have any trailers besides those related to the movie in question. which I think is absolutely correct for what they are.
however, when I've been ripping other movies, I've been trying to capture trailers for unrelated movies whenever I see them. not completely - MakeMKV doesn't capture anything shorter than 2 minutes by default, and I'm not going back to rip anything missed that way unless it's actually related to the main movie. but I've gotten what I can. and I value the like, snapshot into past marketer's brains. seeing what they thought would sell other movies, or at least what they put into a pipeline for whoever/whatever systems mastered these disks to use. I haven't extended this to in-box inserts, digital copies especially - those all get the recycling. but the previews I get.
There's also a nice element of spite to it. when I rip previews, I can put them in their own directories separate from the main movie. they don't auto play. they're eminently skippable. UNLIKE how they come on the disk. preserved in amber in every sense of that.
and I haven't even gotten to the disks JUST for supplemental materials. criterion folks rule.
