EDIT: I am talking about remuxes, I always download the remux whether it is 1080p or 4K
I have been doing this for a long time. For example, I download a movie, I extract the DTS track, convert it to AC3, get a proper .srt file for subtitle, mux it using mkvtoolnix with a name that I like, and almost whole of my collection is like this. If the movie has Dolby Atmos and AC3 but the AC3 is 448Kbps, I create a 640kbps AC3 from atmos track, mux it into the movie file. Remove all subtitles, just keep the english one and all that.
I was happy with this. Having a library customized the way I like, follows a standard and all. But since the last year I got serious about seeding and seeded 100TiB in less than eight months. And it got me thinking, I could've seeded a lot more if I hadn't changed the files. I am in a dilemma. I like the standard I follow, but I also want to seed. Getting frustrated every time I think about this. I found some files that do not have any seed anymore, and I could've seeded them but now they are changed.
What do you do? How do you organize your media library? Do you mix up the collection and the files for seeding?
I appreciate your look at this issue and how you do it. Thank you.
