This is why I continue to buy high quality Blu-ray releases for films I love. Physical media is something you own. I generally rip it and put it on a Plex server for easy access and it reduces wear and tear on my precious criterion discs.
What software do you use to rip the DVDs?
A lot of people use handbrake, or a combo makemkv and handbrake.
Thank you I will try that.
If you need subtitles, add SubtitleEdit to the mix... Will read the mkv, does ocr from graphical overlay to text, which Plex can handle as a separate file.

on linuxThe cassettes? Just a regular double deck player and recorder.
Edit: people didn't catch on the joke that we started with bluerays, then dvds, and finally cassettes. Oh well.
