I actually bought a bunch of DVDs of my kids' favorite films to burn and have on my NAS.

And woah! I completely underestimated how much user hostile anti-piracy tech has grown in the past 20 years .

Couldn't even play my DVD, that I bought, with my money, on my computer. Had to install a bunch of libraries to deal with all the file chunking and mangling they do now, just to play a video, not even burning it, just play.

Really raised my blood pressure that one.
