Upgrading older rips? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Ahoy!

Once long ago I ripped some movies from DVD, and in ignorance, saved to a lossy format. (The DVDs have also long since gone.) This was fine for a time but now as TVs are getting bigger and quality is improving, I am seeing the compression artifacts.

Does anyone know of some software that will scan a directory for media, identify the codec used, and then find better quality rips present for download & replacement? I would rather not go through the process manually and I have to imagine I'm not the only one that's had this issue.

i feel this. i had to toss a wall of dvds i had previously ripped... they melted in the garage. but i figured, owell, i have the data.

then 1080 came out and i realized my mistake. ive spent years upgrading my media. im up to the M's i think... there are plenty of scrapers out there for auto-torrenting, but ive had no luck doing it in volume. ymmv
