Jen is loading DVD's into a donation box. Admiral: Stop!! You can't get rid of our DVD's! What if the streaming sites go down?! - Admiral: What'll we watch if there's an apocalypse? The NEWS?!

Rip your DVDs.

You can even just straight rip them to .iso and enjoy full quality with menus and all. I think Jellyfin supports that at least.

For other usefull resources check your public library. Lots of overlap between Librarians and archivists.

Libraries are awesome. Also, I think a lot of people don't realize that DVDs are pretty good quality. They're used to YouTube 480p, with the bitrate of a slug and heavy artifacts that have been converted 20 times to different formats. Actual 480p ripped directly from a DVD is pretty damn good.

The ripping of your personal DVDs and libraries also having DVDs is just a coincidence, of course.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
