I like freefilesync for one-off synchronizations, mostly because of the super-simple UI. If I need to quickly make sure a folder on two drives are identical, I go to freefilesync.

For everything else, I use syncthing. I use it to keep files synchronized between my PC, tablet, and phone. I use it to sync Obsidian, as well as KeePass so my passwords are accessible across my devices.

Sounds like syncthing is probably more robust for your purposes, though its default behavior is continuous sync, you might need to do some extra configuration to strictly run it on a schedule.

Yeah, that’s a clearer way of saying it. I usually think of the highest quality commercially available version as being lossless, since the raw files or negatives are almost never accessible to the public (wouldn’t that be awesome??). But yeah, every DVD/Bluray is still technically just a disc with lossy video files that the studio encoded.

A remux is a fully lossless video file, typically a MKV, that is just the video streams from a DVD/Bluray wrapped in an MKV container. It’s not a new encoding, it’s the original video, in its original codec, fully lossless.

I personally like knowing that I’m watching the best possible quality of any given media, without any extra processing. Most people probably wouldn’t immediately notice the difference between a high quality encode and a remux, but I’m a quality snob.

Amazing!

Seems like a very cool concept. Will/does it support outputting untouched remuxes? I don’t like to reencode my discs rips, I prefer a remux, and MakeMKV is the only reliable free option for this (as far as I know). I’d love to eliminate MakeMKV from my workflow…

Regardless, I’ll be watching this, nice work!
