USB DVD readers are pretty cheap and backing up a DVD movie to a file (either just the movie as mp4/whatever or the whole disc with menus, special content and all that jazz as an ISO) is trivial. DVDs themselves are fragile circles of plastic that store data a micron-thin foil layer that can be hurt by too spicy a laser pointer. Do yourself and your roommate a favor and make a copy of that thing for posterity’s sake.

100% agree. I backed up my Dogma DVD (as well as the rest of my DVD/Blu-ray collection) and now I enjoy them streaming through my Plex server.
What a coincidence? I backed up your DVDs to my Plex too!
That’s so funny, because I was just wondering where you got your copy of Dogma that I backed up to my Plex server!
