Yes. My library has some DVDs but not this movie.
Looking back I really cannot fathom how we watched DVDs and thought the image quality was acceptable. I am way too spoiled by HD and UHD.

I have the DVD. It's somewhere in the pile.
I need to one day develop a DVD/BR/book catalogue app to get even vague idea about what exactly is on my shelves and boxes. It has long since gone unmanageable. At least I know what's my next major project after NaNoWriMo.

Guess I better borrow it before it's hard to find!
Consolation prize: the Gene Wilder documentary on Netflix is pretty good if you haven't already seen it
I was not aware of that but will track it down.
RIP to the whole cast of this film.
I’ve only ever seen this in the original VHS
You probably can get the bluray from one of those bulk sellers. Pick up a bunch of movies and get combined shipping
Yeah wouldnt that reward bad behavior?
Although buying physical also send an important market msg
What bulk sellers of bluray? Is that a thing?
Yes
Check ebay
I watched it on a website a few months ago for class
Is jellyfin considerably better than plex for local and offline usage?
Client apps are more limited but otherwise floss purist swear by it
Any difference in remote access? I think you gotta pay plex for that.
I remote access jellyfin just fine. Got a reverse ddns proxy on my synology nas so you can probably do the same thing for free.
That's also true.
Remote access is above my pay grade though.
Personal preference, really. For me, jellyfin is much simpler to use, very easy to self-host in docker. And the clients are great too. I use desktop, android and roku regularly.
Better is subjective.
Simpler in a more streamlined sense, yes. Plex is more hands-off, and is doing a lot behind the scenes to automatically configure itself to your hardware for the best transcoding experience and such.
Jellyfin needs a little more work but can get there, it just needs to be shown the hardware and be configured correctly, but I find Jellyfin to be simpler and less cluttered overall when properly finished, with less strings attached to a parent company.
Have it on DVD
