    I buy them. The encryption is fully broken, nothing to worry about into the future unlike with Blu-Ray. I also don’t own a Blu-Ray drive. Lastly, size. I am weird enough to copy the entire ISO instead of just ripping the video itself. This leaves me with original quality, but most importantly, menus. VLC can then play it for example via HTTP from a local web server. That’s one lazy solution.

    And nothing beats my laptop’s screen at shittiness. So little contrast you don’t even see the compression artifacts. So bad viewing angles you have to move around the screen to tell apart similar colors. Which is white? Which is gray? Tilt the laptop up and find out! Want to see yellow and orange? Tilt the laptop down!

      I’m kind of the same way. I buy Blu-rays and own a Blu-ray drive. I don’t worry about the encryption since MakeMKV can fully decrypt the disc. There’s an option to back up the entire Blu-ray as a BDMV, which is similar to a DVD ISO except it’s a structure of folders/files. It’s possible to play the Blu-ray BDMV with all the menus and special features in VLC, although it’s a real pain to set up - but once you do, it works flawlessly. (And you can always just remux the movie as an .mkv file for easier playback.)

      …of course, the whole ordeal is pointless if you don’t have a decent screen and speakers to enjoy it on.

      Never had problems with the encryption of a BluRay so far (A.R.M. with a suitable 4K BluRay Drive, manual transcoding via Handbrake quality vs size depending on the movie). The menus are one of the reasons why I put everything into Jellyfin. I absolutely hate how every Movie navigates differently, but all buggy, plus the annoying trailers and anti-theft blabla before you even get to the menu. Next thing DVDs and BluRays use different buttons for play, pause, back, skip etc on PS4 wtf. So now I am in a situation where I own all my stuff, but still have the convenience of Netflix.
