But also I wanna be clear: I *will* fucking suck a dick through a garden hose if someone could hook me up with rips of all 38 of the MST3k DVD volumes. That shit is LITERALLY a couple thousand dollars to purchase now
I don't want a torrent file. Just running MakeMKV on each DVD and then putting them somewhere I can rsync them. I've got plenty enough compute power to *properly* re-encode them and make a torrent (and IA upload)
@CursedSilicon w.h....wlwhat
@green This is the kind of shit I'd get up to if I had LGR money
Nov 4, 2026, 12:02 AM@CursedSilicon @green I was going to suggest using a youtube downloader on the official MST3K channel, since they do upload A LOT of the episodes (and the DVD extras!) but it's not a complete archive and I think you'd have to split the compilation videos manually for certain episodes...
@CursedSilicon ok question, does scarecrow video have DVD's you can rent and rip?
@CursedSilicon second question: can you borrow any of this from the library? KCLS has a lot of materials.
@pencilears *potentially* ?
Working with folks to try and crowd source as many as I can from various libraries nation wide
@pencilears I'm not sure. I've somehow never been to scarecrow video ;-;
I think they may be your answer

@pencilears It looks like they've got the individual movies instead of the "Volumes"
But. Still may be a step forward
Edit: THEY'VE. Goddammit auto correct
