Get this stuff on actual DVD or bluray. Put it all in archival boxes if you dont have the space.
Ooorrrrrr you can play the video, and split the HDMI with a decoder box and record with something like a haupage recorder (records to usb flash)

Or just use PlayOn to record your shows.
We're all the way back to recording movies from TV with our VCR.
post this on piracy bro they can get it to the front page
I would presume they know.
I assumed you could use a capture card to record your video. Does this work similarly?
should do. Just need to strip out the HDCP.
But ... but why?
Just get a 8-16 TB hard drive and download thousands of movies on it?
Why use some old physical media that can get scratched and takes up loads of space?
Its archived. Hence the archival box...
