Hello! I've recently gotten into torrenting. I've managed to get myself into a couple of private trackers, and I'd like to start contributing at some point soon. But, here's the thing- I'm VERY LOST about how to do that, especially with video. I understand how to create torrents just fine, that's the easy part. But when I video torrent titled something like: > Batman Begins 2005 1080p BluRay REMUX VC-1 TrueHD 5.1-FraMeSToR My mind just can't wrap around it. I understand the basic terms inside of that, but not how to actually *do* any of them. Like, I have the Batman Begins BluRay, how could I, sitting here at my computer, re-create that? Here's where I'm at. I know that I have a bunch of DVDs/BluRays that I can rip. I usually use MakeMKV to copy files off of DVD/BluRay disks (I've done that quite a bit, since I got my home server up and running). When I do that, what do I actually GET off of the DVD? Like, obviously I get an mkv file that has the video and audio wrapped up in it, but how do I know what quality they came out with? What settings should I set up in MakeMKV to get higher quality? I'm sure all of this has been asked before, but it's a *very* hard thing to google properly. I'm real new, and I feel like most of the guides I've read so far have been for other software, are out of date, or expect you to already be well versed in all of this. I figure asking lemmy would be a safe bet to finding some good, beginner-friendly guides. So here I am!
