The Borrowable DVD: The Internet Archive has a "Physical Media Lending" program. You need a free account to "borrow" the DVD ISO for one hour. This is the legal grey area—akin to borrowing from a digital library.
The User Upload (MP4): Often found under the "Community Video" section. These are MP4 files ranging from 480p to 720p. While the Archive does not actively promote copyright infringement, it rarely removes fan-uploaded copies of out-of-print or hard-to-find films.
