Fewer and fewer movies and TV series are being released in physical format, but streaming platforms do not provide enough for some film buffs, who miss the extras they offered
God damn it now I gotta find this. Piracy supply chains really need to figure out how to completely separate audio and video files in such a way that users can mix and match any.

It’s easy - use MKVToolNix to extract the audio files from the movie in an .mka container (or .ac3, .dts, .thd, .dtshd), and just share those files.
The problem is, most don’t do that for whatever reason, so you might have to try downloading a full Blu-ray ISO, or buy the Blu-ray and rip it yourself.
Yeah. I meant in a way where their split becomes the standard so you can mix and match any video format with any audio format, but it would be even better if the torrent software transparently enabled the tracking and extraction of either independently, while retaining the current bundled/container format. So you can be like, I want that 1080 AV1 version, but also the 5.1/Atmos/whatever because that’s best for my sound system.
If you want that it’s much easier to have the end user combine them than having this option on the supply side. Usually a ‘big’ rip just includes all the audio tracks that are in the source
Also, you’re entering a world of pain called out of sync
most media players actually let you do that already and most pirated content includes at least subtitles you can toggle on and off. but if you go for a full Blu Ray iso or remux you’ll usually get the commentary track.

It’s great! It’s Alex, Swordy and Dante. And Dante brings a bong…
