Hallo guys,

I was wondering if any of you doesn’t know about some sites to download ISO or whole bluray disk (or whole sets) of movies not just ripped movie in mkv/whatever type.

For example I look for lotr trilogy 4k extended bluray collection to download and it’s nowhere to be found.

I was using private torrent czech tracker for this but it was taken down few years back… I wouldn’t mind private tracker.

Thx and long live the flag…

      Thx, good aggregator of sites. Slightly more crowded with options than ripped.guide I look into that.

    This got me curious since I never heard of people uploading Blu-ray iso. What do you need an iso for over the ripped movie? Burning to your own Blu-ray?

      I believe these are “remux” when searching. I don’t think anyone posts an ISO but the remux contains the entire contents of the original disc but in a friendlier format for playback on more diverse hardware (mkv containers for instance instead of the bdmv container).

        a remux is just the video and audio data put into a new container, no compression. but it is just the main movie file, no menus, no extras, nothing like that.

        the common tag for searching for whole disks (BDMV folders, Video_ts folders or ISO images) is BR-DISK

        Most remuxes have commentary tracks passed through. Heck, good encoder groups like QxR, TAoE and many Internal’s retain them.

        I’ll agree remuxes generally drop extra video files though you don’t strictly need an iso for those, just a full BD disc dump in folder form which are far more common than ISO’s though far less common than single file remuxes.

        I don’t think LoTR 4K’s changed the extras and behind the scenes from 1080p either so finding disc folder dumps of the old HD releases should suffice for OP if that’s all they want.

    Pass the popcorn often has them. But it’s invite only so you’d have to figure out their invite/recruitment.

        Keep an eye out for TorrentLeech open registration period. Usually happens around Christmas, and they have a very good seeding policy and lots of freeleech content. Easily my favourite tracker.
