Redump - Disc Preservation Project

does that say anything about games only?

This was already discussed and it will never happen. This project is for game related media only.
But if anyone wants to start a side project i will be glad to contribute with hundreds of dvd's and audio discs dumps (i think a audio cd database is a very interesting ideia )

For exapmple, VCD Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins content storylines for MK1 characters, movelists, etc... It is 'game content', as you know.

Agree!

P.S. I may dump Mortal Kombat: The Defenders of the Realms, officially released in Russia on two DVD by Viking Video company.

I am totally for a DVD, BD and (most importantly) CDDA database... just not under the redump.org banner.

Remember: "Jack of all trades, master of none"

With my comment i didnt mean that redump should add  any music cds or movies now

But its a matter of 5 minutes to change the slogan title to Redump - Game Disc Preservation Project

that would make the purpose (and specification) of the project clearer

ps: arent there dvd and cdda databases already?

I know no CDDA database which works like redump... I mean there is AccurateRip which sucks, because it isn't free for devs.
As far as I know it also doesn't handle offset too good...

I have a huge collection of original CDs which I want to dump, but someone told me to wait with that until iR0b0t releases an almighty tool which handles all the pregaps and offset corrections and read into lead-in, lead-out correctly.

I hope that happens before I die

I think Truong from cdtool/perfectrip/trurip/etc is working on an audio db

Everything on redump is game-related, although I agree with DVD and Audio CD not really belonging here (especially discs like this one: https://redump.info/disc/15714/ )

Why not?

I say, if they come with a game, it should be on redump.  If it's a stand-alone video/audio disc, then not.

If I want to preserve a game disc, I go to redump. Or toseciso. If I want to preserve a (floppy) disk, I go to SPS. For cartridges, I have to use no-intro. Truong's DB for Audio-CDs. DVDs? No idea.

I've always dreamt of an all-in-one media preservation project. Redump would be the ideal basis with its transparent verification system. Out of all the preservation projects out there, I think it has the most potential. Why not make it the ultimate place to go for preservationists of all kinds?
