Done with VHS. Are we done with DVD ??
Just filled a box with loads of DVD's that i haven't watched in ages, so guessing i won't miss them when they are gone. With Netflix and other ways and means of watching movies at home now, the DVD collection i had seemed to do nothing more than take up space. I have kept some separate (and have a more than a few blu-rays), but the rest i will be giving to the local charity shop.
I can remember years ago having the VHS clear out. Didn't think i'd be having the DVD clear out so soon after... Anyone else done the same ?? |

Soon after? I bought my first DVD 13 years ago, and I was late to the game.
I do everything digital now. Occasionally a Blu-ray for a movie that I think might be worth it. Love Plex.

Im about to get started with Plex but I hear great things about it. From now on I will also be doing digital on my PS4, it pisses me off that they charge more for a digital copy as opposed to a hard copy, you'd think it would be the same or cheaper.

Was never really a big movie watcher, so no DVD's here. But it took me until last year to get rid of my huge CD collection. I had all the music on my hard drive already. Hell, most of them I hadn't even bothered to rip to mp3 myself, I just downloaded them online.
I had realized I hadn't touched any of them in at least 10 years a few years ago already. Could just not part with it, until I could no longer justify the space it took.

If I'm renting, I'll rent digitally from Amazon or the cable company.
But if it's a movie I really loved, like a Tarantino movie or something, I'm buying that on Blu-ray. I like having a collection of physical media that I like, displayed in my living room for visitor to see. Regarding actual Adult DVD sales, I think my colleague Colin said it best: "Judging by our DVD sales numbers, it will be a very long time [before we are done with DVD]. We have VOD options that are much cheaper than the physical discs, but the collectors aren't interested. They only want DVD's or Blu-rays, and they don't care that there's a cheaper option."

Yeah but what about those 'DVD extras'? You know, bonus scenes, alternate takes, commentary, etc? Do they have that shit on Netflix, too?
I am so old. I am going to go play a Doris Day 78 record now. Those 33 1/3 "albums" are just a fad.

Blu-Ray is a 20th century technology. It's a mechanical one. Modern technologies are fully digital. A slim plastic card which is less than the nail, it can hold more information than a monster-sized Blu-Ray disk, it works faster, it does not use all those big and noisy and electricity consuming motors and lasers, it doesn't afraid of dust and scratches, it can be re-written again and again and costs just a few bucks. Blu-Ray is dead.

If you want the very best in quality there is still no substitute for Blu-ray. Sure, you can go on thepiratebay and download some full Blu-ray rips, but very few of them are uncompressed, other than occasionally when you see 1 or 2 versions of the major releases.
I think anyone running a very large screen and surround sound system would want a fully uncompressed version, whether they rip it to their hard drive or not in the end. I'm not up on how the legal digital downloads work, but I'm guessing they probably don't offer the 40 to 50 GB downloads you would get if you ripped a Blu-ray 1:1 directly to your computer/media server. Most are going to be h264 compressed and some won't even include DTS Master Audio tracks. I can just imagine how badly they compress these movies on services like Netflix, etc.

Ya, how are they going to handle that I wonder? It's still a luxury to get unlimited bandwidth internet in some areas. I can just imagine the disk space / bandwidth one of those will eat up.

Remember when CDs came out? They were supposed to kill vinyl. More and more stuff is coming out on vinyl again. Amazon even has the "CDs and Vinyl" category.
But I guess vinyl is a special case for music because I don't see VHS ever coming back in the same way. I think DVD is still here for a while though. . |

We still use DVD often enough.
My kid goes to the movies, likes something, and wants it when it comes out on DVD. I also like to watch an entire series all at once, and that's usually on DVD. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime but they don't usually have what I want.

So someone is buying them. I just wonder, because of the mixing and engineering now, if new 'albums' by new artists on vinyl sound as good as the classic LPs do. Different studio techniques, everything mixed so 'hot' nowadays (over the red line), makes me wonder. But The White Album is still a must on vinyl.

Maybe for a lot of webmasters, online media is common & dvd is not used. But keeping it real, yes, dvd is still used by many people & shall be both available & used for many years to come

I still have over 1,000 VHS tapes here in the office, mostly original camera footage from the 80s and 90s. Friends, family, trips...all kinds of events and stuff we did back in the day. We always had the camera with us.
I've copied some of the stuff onto DVD - but only a fraction so far. It's time consuming and tedious. But it needs to be done for preservation. I'm sure the old VHS is beginning to show its age. But there's so much footage of old friends and family...kickass parties...people I'll never see again, but still remember fondly. Really need to find the time and inclincation...before the tapes deteriorate too far. |

I own around 100 blu rays and about 450 dvds. I rent blu rays locally at Family Video and sometimes I'll buy used copies of blu rays for $6 or $7. Can't beat that for buying new release movies a week or two after it's released.

Same time, vinyl records sales are increasing !
Listening music from vinyl on a decent home sound system comparing to mp3 on earphones are two different worlds. |

This is a great idea, especially as you can build a genuine collection of movies, watchable anytime & any place, such a good price, I bet many people buy & then sell after just a few weeks too

How much bandwidth would it take to stream a 4k full length movie? I don't think internet providers will keep offering unlimited BW for home for very much longer. Who is going to pay $100+ a month internet bills to stream movies.

You are absolutely right about not being all for entertainment or dvd for that matter. But its a smart thinking company with many lines of business. Every month in Tokyo there are hundreds of releases. The volume is staggering. The long slide to nil is happening but it will be a long slow slide. DVD is still preferred adult medium here. You pay in cash to a store on the other side of town and Oila you got porn! You can buy DVDs and blu-rays for 5 bucks up to $100+ for the specialty stuff. And seemingly studios cannot pump it out fast enough. Making a farting video is not cheap apparently. Imagine being a vertically integrated business with many product lines and services. I can't say more but its a refreshing way to think about how to make things work in entertainment and adult. Diversity. Audiences crave it but not so many deliver it in the west as effectively as Asians do. Some smart motherfuckers. I liken it to the comedian Steve Allen who said "I always have 14 jobs going. When 7 or 8 are sucking, I still have 7 or 8 more." Remember him? He's the guy who could take 2-3 notes and turn it into a song on the spot on live tv. BTW, Disney Tokyo is really great too. I am kinda conflicted with Disney, their politics etc but once I'm on the Star Wars ride for the 5th time in 2 hours...I just don't care. |

For $10 a month, you cannot beat Netflix. Whether or not they have the latest movies has nothing to do with it. Massive archive of great TV shows, documentaries, older (slightly) movies, and exclusive TV shows. You are comparing apples to oranges.

Last time I tried netflix a few years ago I could only get one or two blu rays at a time and had to wait forever till it was available to stream. I don't need netflix for tv shows as I have direct tv with a dvr. Doesn't sound like apples to oranges to me

CDs
Why pay Netflix when my library has a large movie and music selection I can check out for free?
On FaceBook there's a vinyl group that has 17,000 members. The other day one member was bitching about a new pressing for $50. CDs will be around for awhile. They have a lot of commercial uses. A lot of ads, usually aimed toward seniors, will send them a free CD touting their expensive product. I worked for several large corporations and they got their monthly bank statements on CD, as the banks didn't want to have to electronically store years of bank statements and check images. Same way with payroll whether it's done in house or using a payroll processing company, it was was stored on CDs. Unless the bank and customers all go to blue ray they're going to stick with CDs. |

Can the Internet deliver full standard def TV?
Can the Internet deliver full HD ? The only source of real HD is blu ray and so if you want to watch a good film projected blu ray is the only way to go. Some DVD are very good too projected old black and white classics. Films projected from the Internet fall apart. Give it another 20 years. 4K on Netflix is great of you think 8 bit colour is the way to go. |

Also 4K 3D movies encoded with h.256 that will come in 2015 requires 100GB of space. Good luck with downloading it and keeping on a hard drive. |
