.mkv is preferred but I'm not exactly discriminatory, and a proper treasure hoard tends to build up a variety over the years
You also need to maintain your collection. Going back and re-downloading/re-ripping everything in modern codecs to improve quality and save space. I’m currently upgrading my movie collection to H.265 HEVC & my music collection to lossless MP4.
Worst case scenario, you can’t find or make a better copy of something. You still need to reencode it to keep it playable and prevent bit rot. I have a small cache of Windows Media Audio files that need to be converted into MP4s before it’s too late.
Need is a strong word
Fuck me. I sometimes download stuff in 720p to save space. 1080p is plenty good enough on my 55' TV. Still, I'll smoke a bad copy if a higher quality is available.
