Welcome to the land of mkv! Get your hand brake ready.
Workin' on it! Got me a used laptop that's about as recent as possible to still have a slim bluray slot built in. Learning all the things.
I'm finally ready to embrace Blu-ray.
Burn your "acquired media" to physical media now folks. The powers that be are purposely limiting physical media so the have an excuse to phase it out
Or save them redundantly to several archive-quality hdds. Why have 20 blu-ray dvds for one copy of a collection when you could have 3 complete copies on 3 hdd. Both are life limited media, both will eventually require re-archiving. One has potential for mechanical failure, the other more likely to physically degrade. Pick your poison, or do one of each.
instructions unclear, set fire to my entire DVD collection
No theyβre not, hard drives are for sale everywhere and not being phased out any time soon.

People got lazy and threw away their stuff thinking streaming was the future. Some of us knew better because we know how capitalism works.
Own your media folks!

Nebula isn't really even in the same ballpark, super weird to include it there. Not sure when YouTubers started minting blu-rays and DVDs...
Yes, but there's no reason why Nebula wouldn't enshittify in the future. At least they dare to offer a lifetime account so it's not just one more subscription. And I just want google to loose.
I started building an all-BluRay collection back in 2018. I saw the writing on the wall when I would go to watch a movie with friends on streaming and it would be gone.
Almost all of my favorite movies are mine now. I see a lot of comments talking about pirating, but for me personally, the display I get and being able to just have guests grab from the wall is a lot cooler than scrolling.
Not to mention, some of them are quite collectible. Itβs neat having some movies that are really rare and I know I had to work to find them.

I think i have more Laserdiscs than Blu-rays
Fuck the blu-ray consortium.
Casual reminder, Sony and Intel tried to tether Blu-ray discs to SGX DRM, which was killed just a few years after they introduced the standard, rendering all of your SGX DRM Blu-rays unplayable on PC. They disabled it so quickly, because people could use Intel SGX DRM for remote code execution in your machine, below the operating system and kernel level.
Also, if you have one of the CPUs which still has SGX DRM, congratulations, you have a hardware Trojan! Digital restrictions management is a cancer because look at what it does in reality, vs. what they say. Who came up with this?
What's the iPlayer done?
yes, it was horrible. There's like 10 minutes of ads that you PAY for. Also corruption for scratches and fiddling with the player were painful
piracy is best
Donβt forget to check your local libraries too, folks.
Oh also π΄ββ οΈ

Nah, I have more room without bookshelves of physical media.
Luckily I saved all of my blu-rays. And, bonus: they're all good movies from before Disney went to shit

Toss Betamax in there and you've got me. I miss those little tapes.
I keep bards and othersuch minstrels in the back yard (don't worry, they're fenced in) and have them play for me whenever I clap my hands. I can clap them off too

No, I ain't going back to VHS. The quality was horrible. I don't want to fiddle the with tracking.
The best thing about it was that you could easily record what was on the TV.

Thereβs only so many times I want to watch the same movie, so my library would be limited
We need Bluray/DVD rental stores back.
