Buy Blurays and rip them to your machine. From there copy them into Jellyfin.

You will need a Bluray reader, Handbrake and MakeMKV

    In this order:

    1. Rip the BluRay-Disk (or DVD) with MakeMKV, you will got the film with all languages and subtitles in one MKV-File;
    2. Shrink the MKV-File with Handbrake and save it as H264/H265 or better as AV1 (better because open-source and the future).

    Do not use AV1 or at least don't use it as of now as it isn't supported my most devices. I think there is exactly one phone that supports it as of now

    I’m switching to AV1. But I’ve also been following its progress for years and understand the benefits and drawbacks. I wouldn’t recommend blindly jumping in if you’re new.

    Untrue, all my devices support av1 at this point, so that's only your mileage.

    I am happy with av1 and its awesome space savings over h264.

    av1 is going to be super niche and never fully adopted, just like ogg was for audio. h264/265 will be the main thing going for years and is just fine.

    Are you aware that all android devices with A14 have av1 support as a requirement?

    Also Apple is adding that, and amazon sticks already support av1 natively.

    Said that, indeed h264 is and will be the safest and most supported choice for a very long time.

    As 265 goes, not so sure.

    A lot of newer Android-TV-Settop-Boxes are ready for AV1, for example products from Orbsmart.de like my Orbsmart S87L.
    On that box is Kodi preinstalled and you can install everything from android-stores, also the Jellybin-client.

    Don't forget: Jellybin is a very good open-source-software, but a client-server-system. So you need Hardware for the server-software.

    *Jellyfin

    My point is that H264 is well supported everywhere so I personally am in no hurry to switch. Non of my devices support AV1 so it is a waste of my time for the most part.

    What's worse is when I first started a bunch of people recommended AV1 which lead to Jellyfin not working.

    And you're the norm, not the exception. Too many people choose to evangelize instead of looking at real-world use cases for the majority. I used to use Nvidia boxes around the house with Kodi. It worked but my wife and kids sure thought it was a pain in the rear often enough that it made it a pain for me too.

    Worth noting that AV1 is less compatible with older devices. My old Samsung TV, for instance, refuses to play them. It can’t DirectPlay AV1, so the server tries to transcode. But even when transcoding, the stream still fails. If you have an older smart TV, you may want to stick with h264 for compatibility reasons.

    Also of you can stand the quality check out DVDs in charity shops or second hand online (Ebay etc). (And give away / resell after you made a "backup".)

    To keep a copy of the media in Jellyfin you need to have a physical copy with the server. You also probably shouldn't share it with friends unless you are living together.

    You may need to keep the physical copy for it to be legal or moral according to your own ethics but from a purely technical standpoint there is absolutely no need.

    Yeah, fair, but depending on where you are you're already in illegal territory if you're circumventing DRM on the discs (e. g. Germany, I think).

    (And how likely is it that I 1. get busted for pirating when not torrenting/downloading and 2. will make the copyright trolls believe me that I actually legally bought this movie at a charity shop five years ago? Has that ever hapenend?)
