Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have this bluray I recently got and it has a green tint on the whole movie, I am wondering if I can rip it, fix the issue thats causing it, and then put it back on the same disc with minimal conaquences/issues or if thats even possibel to begin with.

... "put it back on the same disc" ...

No, BluRay is not writeable media. It is an integral part of the DRM conspiracy.

Hell, it didn't even used to be readable in Linux until the read-encryption was cracked (which may seem unrelated if you are a Windows/Mac user but illustrates that the companies behind BluRay are absolutely opposed to any manipulations such as the one you proposed.)

If the video is a pink tint in addition to green then it's probably a Dolby Vision encoded file and your playback device doesn't support it.

Good to know for the future

From reading the other comments it seems all discs are like this?

In that case your problem is the calibration of your input and display device.

You can get calibration discs that will let you adjust levels in a guided way.

Or just adjust the green amount.

I wirded it really poory, I ment "all the movies" in respons to getting it replaced, I was trying to say all the releases of the movie have the green tin t, be it steel book, base or collectors ect. and it was a mistake when making the blu rays and not a TV issue.

Oh yes well that's just because of the poor master. Time Bandits was like that for years till it was properly done with the latest remaster. The same was true for The Faith Element.

Well if you think you can adjust the tint then you should easily be able to rip the disc, depending on how new it is.

I use MakeMKV myself.
