I have a ton of my blurays and dvds ripped to my media server, but there are some films that aren’t worth the size. Anything recent that makes use of 4k/surround i like to watch on disc rather than take up 50GB on my drive.
H265 makes this a little more bearable, but I’m also really lazy and I don’t watch the high bitrate stuff THAT often.
ease? Convenience? I ripped my physical media, stuffed it on my file server and now have both.
