CD
abcde is where it's at. Use the forked repo though.
I typically search the resulting disc ID in MusicBrainz to find my exact copy, and then throw that, the FreeDB ID and barcode into a spreadsheet.
My abcde configuration is as follows. I like to save both
FLAC and MP3, that way I can have both the best quality offered and a
compressed version if I don't care too much about quality when
transferring it to a portable music player.

If you only want to save the feature film... (this saves one angle just in case, if the film is multi-angle and your chosen language isn't the first angle then feel free to change this xP)
