    My housemate grumbles about getting rid of her DVD collection from time to time. I told her that she’s not allowed to get rid of her Dogma DVD. I even watch it once in a while.

      USB DVD readers are pretty cheap and backing up a DVD movie to a file (either just the movie as mp4/whatever or the whole disc with menus, special content and all that jazz as an ISO) is trivial. DVDs themselves are fragile circles of plastic that store data a micron-thin foil layer that can be hurt by too spicy a laser pointer. Do yourself and your roommate a favor and make a copy of that thing for posterity’s sake.

        100% agree. I backed up my Dogma DVD (as well as the rest of my DVD/Blu-ray collection) and now I enjoy them streaming through my Plex server.

          What a coincidence? I backed up your DVDs to my Plex too!

            That’s so funny, because I was just wondering where you got your copy of Dogma that I backed up to my Plex server!
