BTW, I've long thought having guests would (could) be a good idea. It's true though that any kind of public speaking is very difficult for some people. You don't know if it makes you uncomfortable until you do it, and most people never do it.
MakeMKV is definitely the way to do it. Then you can keep it bit-for-bit or compress it with HandBrake. Either way allows you to maintain the original DD soundtrack unchanged.
My father was a Jazz musician, and while he never worked with Buddy Rich, he knew a lot of people who did. Nobody who ever worked with him had a single nice thing to say about him.
Things like Marvel seem to be very popular, probably because there are so many movies. To be honest, they wear me out. I can't watch that much of them. The constant action and EFX make me kind of numb. I seem to prefer the "Dark" Marvel stuff like Jessica Jones, but those aren't movies...
