There's something called Scener (https://scener.com/about) that does something similar but it requires streaming service subscriptions. I love that this would work to share a DVD with friends, but there are probably legal problems around that, I'd think?

Hey! Thank you for your input :-). You might need to encode your videos to mp4 first - but then it should work!
Let me clarify how this technically works: Your browser creates a DIRECT connection to your friend's browser and streams DIRECTLY to your friend. I do not see any legal problems - but I am not a lawyer for sure!
