For other usefull resources check your public library. Lots of overlap between Librarians and archivists.
Libraries are awesome. Also, I think a lot of people don’t realize that DVDs are pretty good quality. They’re used to YouTube 480p, with the bitrate of a slug and heavy artifacts that have been converted 20 times to different formats. Actual 480p ripped directly from a DVD is pretty damn good.
The ripping of your personal DVDs and libraries also having DVDs is just a coincidence, of course.
