I feel like it’s pretty common for people who are ripping movies and shows from discs to just rip the main content to mkv or mp4 and call it a day. I get why if you’re posting it online or throwing it on a server, you need to rip it to a file that is both a reasonable size and is pretty universally recognized. But I feel like as someone who’s trying to preserve things, the whole package of the menu, and special features, and everything else tied to the disc is just as important to preserve. I’ve seen a few .isos on Archive but they’re far and few between. I’m just curious how many others have a similar viewpoint.
