Still burning? I used to, I gave it up. I do MKV HQ -> .265 1080p and keep the DTS or AC3 intact. Movies are 2-3gb (or less) and look perfect coming from my Plex server to Roku.
I used to do BD-Rebuilder and burn DVD-DL but honestly I cannot tell the difference at all between those and the 2gb MKVs handbrake is spitting out. And it keeps chapters and does subtitle burn in which is nice.
And the beautiful thing is Plex is easy enough for the wifey. It's basically home sourced netflix nowadays. Except my rips look much superior
Oh, and a Ryzen 7 1700 (which I got on the FS forum for cheap) does pretty well with handbrake. Sure, a threadripper would be nice, but still....
No but I figured it could one day be used for a camper or something similar that has only a DVD player available.
I am not sure what plex is, but I store everything on my 3 GB WD network drive and it plays movies on 2 TVs, an xbox and a PC when connected to my router.
