Comment on The film fans who refuse to surrender to streaming: ‘One day you’ll barter bread for our DVDs’
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months agoOnce you have the physical media, ripping it to a file and using standard backup practices is really your best bet. It’s a bit roundabout, but 4K on disc is significantly higher quality than the compressed bandwidth saving versions available via streaming services.

You can also download remux quality rips. Be warned: they take a lot of disc space! Hard drives cost 1.4¢/GB right now, so say 2¢/GB for a raid NAS, all in. That means each remux costs about $1 USD to store with backup… But you need to put down the cash for like 1000 movies at a time to get the best marginal price.
