I’m a long-time fan of Blue and Lee Ryan, and I’m building an online archive of all their DVDs and songs.
I care about sound quality, so I use official audio whenever possible. Otherwise, I use bit-verified CD rips. YouTube will still compress the audio, but I make sure to avoid multiple compressions.
I care about preserving the original DVDs. I make sure not to overcrop, and I always keep the aspect ratios consistent so the images aren’t distorted. I copy the original audio, or use lossless container when I apply fade-ins and fade-outs.
More about myself, I am a software engineer at Google, mom of a 2 year old girl. My daughter also loves Lee!
