:that review doesn't do the full justice what Criterion people did to it. Look:

:Surely, they're not your momma's dvds -- untouched discs are about 35-45 gigs in size. But they
:are NOT 720p or 1080p rips posted in a.b.x264 -- they're the real thing, with menus, bonuses,

:So they are definitely doable. And what better way to store them for safekeeping than on Usenet,
:where most people don't have download limits. On the other hand, what's the point of upping a 50

:So if, say, 10-15 people will voice their desire to get full untouched BDs, I'll be willing to

Alas! Into every china shop will wander the occasional bull.
This is a DVD group. Blu-rays are not DVDs.
Post them in alt.binaries.blu-ray.
Announce them in alt.binaries.blu-ray.d.
The 1.28 MB article size limit of Astraweb is too puny to do the job.
* For a 500 MB binary part, try a part size of 524.291328 MB @ 29898 yEnc lines.
* This will result in (*/137).
The number 137, in addition to being a prime, is very special to our universe.
