I have been rekindling my patronage to my county's libraries and archive.org.
Sure, these are DVDs, but they can be upscaled and are easily backed up.
I buy a crap load of books like I have a spending problem, but I get them used from bookstores and thriftstores. Libraries will always have something I can't find, with the added glory of browsing serendipity.
Sure, I like to pirate, but there is more treasure at your ports than you think.
Oh man. Ai can upscale DVDs.
Like. I can upscale anything. But damn.
I know. It is not great. I ended up using FFMPEG to upscale to 4k using lanzcos filter.
Not the crispest, but vastly more watchable.
I will try AI upscaling when I can.
