Buy the dvds and rip them...
Yeah, just buy yourself a dvd/blu-ray player just to rip it, wait for the disk to arrive, connect it to your computer and set aside the time to rip it (if you even know how).
Such a reasonable alternative to setting up radarr one time and watching the movie immediately. Can't have a digital storefront where I get to own my digital copy.
That is extremely inconvenient and jist feels wrong. There's no reason a digital file has to be tied to an inconvenient, small-volume media.
Most companies stopped making both the discs and the drives/players. Not a long term strategy.
