I can burn it to a DVD or Blu-ray and get everything back up and running
If it was possible to copy it bit by bit and just burn it as is, pirates wouldn’t have bothered to remove it.
CSS was specifically designed to fight 1:1 copies, at the time it was conceived, ripping movies to DivX/MP4/h264 wasn’t a thing
The DRM on discs works because they have data in areas that only a glass master in a $5M disc replicator can create
Not to mention that ONE quad layer BD-R for the 4k blu-rays costs $25 - at that point is better to buy two physical copies and hold them in different places for backup
