Buy Blu-ray's and DVD's.
And just to be sure make a digital copy of those so you have at least 2 versions available should either version degrade.
In some jurisdiction bypassing the DRM for strictly personal use is even legal, in those where it's not: if you don't share your private copy can anyone even prove you bypassed it?
or don’t bother with making copies and just pirate a copy later if there’s an issue with the disc.
Runs you the risk of getting caught plus is more work if you need a specific version rather than just a version.
