I have 17 thousand DVD's of hoarding... half of it is stuff absolutely no
longer available, anywhere, seriously. Collecting obscure TV shows from the
80's and 90's was my "specialty" at one time. B-movies, exploitation flicks, 
foreign, almost every horror/scifi flick ever made was another.

That and every episode of Dr. Who, every episode of WWF wrestling with all the
pay-per-views, all the wonderful trashy/sleezy Lifetime TV movies with their
many variations on the themes of fucking the babysitter/teacher/authority 
figure/etc... you name it. Also a very large collection of vintage erotica...

There's no way I'd have the time or patience to recode/re-rip these to MKV.

The thing is, if something happens to me, nobody wants it, right now its still
packed up in boxes stacked floor to ceiling occupying the entire hallway of my
apartment. So my kid's not going to lug this to a college dormroom, nobody 
wants physical media anymore especially DVD-R's that cannot be resold or taken
in by a goodwill store. Its really only of value to another crazy hoarder.

I wish there was a hoarder "swap meet", that would be a good idea for an app 
or website. Remember that episode of A&E Hoarders where the crazy grandma was
spending every waking moment taping every single sleezy talkshow and soap from
the 80's to the 90's... on VHS.  *THAT* is the type of hoarding collection I'd
gladly pay for and take the time to convert to MKV.

But it has to be a complete collection, no missing episodes. All or nothing.
