AV1 is definitely what I’d like to do. I’m not aiming for maximum compatibility; small file size and high quality encodes are my goal. I can transcode if needed.

Mhm, I’m aware. I just figured the nice folks here would likely have more experience with codecs and such than elsewhere!
(That, and, if I can build my own replacement Disney+, I would definitely want to share with friends.)
The issue is storage costs. Currently they (and some Blu-ray shows I ripped) are taking up just over 12TB. I bought all of these movies when I had money to spend on stuff like that, but money is short and times are tough. “Storage is cheap” but my wallet is cheaper right now, aha.
Unrelated, but I would have preferred a stolen, watermarked Getty Images photo rather an an AI-generated one. Fits the pirate vibe better to have blatantly and unabashedly stolen something than to indirectly do so with plausible deniability.
This reminded me that I wanted to look into open source alternatives to Bionic Reader…
Yeah, sure thing.
