I started picking up blurays and DVDs at record stores that also stock them. I got into record collecting during the pandemic as many did and more physical media is not a big leap from there. You can find good movies sometimes for cheaper than on Amazon or itunes. I was just learning to rip blurays onto my disk server. I did this a lot during the DVD era, but the tooling is now slightly different. (Still ffmpeg or mencoder and the like, but now libaacs. And matroska is much more of a thing.) Sometimes I'm picking up higher res copies of stuff I already collected from that era.
