Given OP mentioned torrent and watching media in the same sentence I assumed they didn’t rip their own media, and pirated it instead.
If my assumption is wrong, I apologize.
Piracy and Morality
Whether they own a physical edition of that media I don’t know. In my opinion owning a physical medium of the media is a big part in the morality discussion of piracy.
But in my juriscition I’m legally not allowed to break the encryption used for CD/DVD/Blu-ray, so I’m technically pirating even if I rip my own discs. There’s obviously no way to find out for copyright owners of their discs were ripped for a private copy, but that’s also (nearly) the case for Usenet/Torrent with proper precautions.
Anyway, if you read until this point, thank you!

Given they use a N100, I’d suggest redownloading instead of transcoding for time and energy saving (i.e cost).

Downloading from where?
You get the content from blurays typically (you surely aren’t talking about piracy)
