It says film. So, it could be movies or images. What else would be possible? Are you thinking of quickest ways to rip the DVDs if they are movies?

Yes, but "film" could refer to a lot of different content. Movies, TV shows, documentaries, commercials, interviews, news reports etc.

GP was just wondering out loud about the content itself, not the format of said content.

A little off-topic, but it's interesting to see the shift in meaning of the "reel of film" icon over the decades; a long time ago, it would signify any video, but now it's more associated with an actual cinema film.
