Unfortunate that "SONY ENDING BLU-RAYS" is way better clickbait than "Sony is working with SDS for physical media distribution as part of their taking over the role of publication of Disney, Fox, and Touchstone titles"
As a fan-editor who wants to put my edits on my shelf, I have bought so many BD-R-DLs. However, none of them have been Sony. If Verbatim stops making them I'll have a problem.
Yet another example not just of how stupid people are, which has always been the case, but especially of how quickly the internet can promote that stupidity.
@paulocamoes6816 I regretfully felt into that trap. But, I'm still planning on making July my year where I give my attention to buying more dvds/blu rays.
Phew, I was extremely worried/anxious about physical media formats and it's future, we need to preserve movies/TV shows, games, music or any kind of entertainment on any physical format, it's great to have access to them anytime without needing an Internet connection or subscribing to a streaming service and having them in the best quality available in which no digital can match nor surpass and it's important to preserve them for future generations.
Just a thought: Don't put the past, present and future of movies on your shoulders. Get and keep what you like and don't let the whole world be your problem. Because that shit would be too much to handle.
@@bened22 I'm a collector of movies, TV shows, for over 30 years since I was 12 in 1993 & I worry and get anxious when they don't get released on physical media formats, but I understand what you mean.
The problem to me was the original source from a Japanese news outlet didn't add much to the story. They made one sentence in the (very brief) article that mentioned the current age of streaming.
Sony is probably the best studio out there keeping physical movies alive. I recently watched their 4k blu rays for underworld and they are amazing. $60 for 5 4k movies with amazing transfers and dolby atmos. Hopefully Sony puts out more stuff from these studios they are working with. I'm tired if Scream Factory doing 4k for studios. $40 for one release is absurd and they are not even packaged with a booklet or hard case like arrow video.
It made zero sense to me when I heard it (and I was right). They just took over Disney's home video distribution - that's not exactly getting out of the BD/4K game, is it?
Hi Jeff, UK here. We currently have at least 2 major distributors on line such as HMV and Zavvi. The UK pricing is very transparent [DVD £10, BluRay £15, 4K £25 and 4K steelbook £35]. This makes a very healthy marketplace and the future of discs here is looking good.
Thank you, Jeff, for this video. I literally JUST had a friend who is slightly into physical media tell me she heard that Sony was going to stop making Blu-ray. I immediately recalled seeing this video pop up on my subscription feed from a couple days ago, so I knew I had to watch it and get to the bottom of this. Always appreciate your transparency and honest, unbiased videos. Keep it up!!
3:40 A poorly written headline at that. Should have said it was Recordable media but then again maybe they did it on purpose because we're all talking about it now.
Thank you for eloquently putting the information together in this video. It sucks that most articles and tweets on this matter are completely ignoring the most crucial details on this.
Sony blu-rays sold on GRUV would make my day. Gruv is my favorite online blu-ray store because of fantastic rolling sales along with fast free shipping with no minimum purchase necessary. Of course only Universal titles and a few Warner are sold there, more studios please.
I will NEVER stop collecting discs mainly because when i "purchase" a film on prime or whatever i dont feel like i really own the movie and i love special features and want to see how the movie was made. Plus nothing beats the picture quality of a 4k disc on a OLED tv.
Prime mostly does give special features. And Disney plus has a lot of special features for many of their movies available on the app. But I agree, if you want something you own get a disc. Even Disney now is removing their own shit for tax write offs just like warner bros did.
The thing I already miss is going out to a store to hunt for movies. Sure, digital shopping is convenient, but the whole experience of finding a movie you love is gone, at least from large stores like Best Buy, for example.
They wound loose billions if they did because millions of us would not be buying movies or games anymore! In which i spend about 8 grand a year on personally. I don't buy digital air nonsense anymore and never will .
Hi Jeff. Thak you so much for the update. I (like you) have been keeping up with the changes but have no worries. I'm a total believer that things work themselves out. I do have a request for you though. Is it possible for you to 1- Incorporate a "Movie Request" page for your subscribers & 2-Ask the studios to access this list? Just curious. Take care! --- Bill
It does affect some of us. Especially companies who make the bootleg discs for the hundreds of shows and movies that never get physical releases. I know at least three companies who depend on those discs to make their discs. 🤷♂️
Well first of all, I’m not going to call them “companies”. I can’t feel bad that people printing illegal copies and making profits off other people’s art might be stuck. Second, there are so many BD-Rs available from other brands. There are literally millions already available. They’re going to be fine.
@@JeffRauseo they aren't the main companies or people using them. I use them for my own music and film releases on small scale. Obviously there are other brands. And some of the smaller scale media companies out there actually release their Blu Rays on BD-R. Some of the more boutique labels have released at least a couple dozen movies that I know of, on BD-r even when released in physical stores. I have a good dozen of these official release titles in my collection. Where the movies came on BD-r in official releases. But Sony was one of the higher quality brands. So it does leave a bit of void in the market. Nevertheless, there are other companies. But you and I have digressed on bootleg copies before. I have been pretty frank about it. If my art were out of print, or I never made physical media of my stuff and somebody else appreciated the art enough they made copies, then that isn't going to bother me. Those people aren't losing any money on the art, when the traditional channels aren't ever going to release them on physical media anyway. So that will continue to be a topic with two camps of thought into the future I believe.
This is a relief. I was quite surprised to see this and unfortunately the first article I saw on it was completely off. Grateful Jeff was on top of this for us to confirm what I was seeing elsewhere!

Well yet another retailer has dumped physical media. Dollar General has decided that since their customers aren't buying movies from them, they cut a rack full and the bin usually at the front door down to just a 2 sided spinner vs the four way spinner they used to have. Only had a few DVD only selections and no Blu-rays. These were my "go to place" where I've found many 3D selections along with various movies and TV series. I've even found selections that are out of print with some not even sold on amazon or ebay at a premium. I hope Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stays in the game as these are also places where you can score big if you're knowledgeable on motion pictures.
Sony will press Blu-ray's until the bitter end, which isn't going to be anytime soon. I firmly believe that physical media will never go away, at least not in my lifetime. Heck, look at the CD, still going after 41 years. Not to mention, vinyl records are selling strong and have been around for closer to 75 years. Having stuck with traditional distribution methods, Sony is MAKING BANK! They have been very upfront about this fact and they're even somewhat boastful about having not started their own streaming service.
I genuinely believe it is insane how critical thinking has gone out the window with social media. Whether it be for clickbait articles on Twitter and Facebook or clickbait videos on TH-cam. Glad you do your best to be through and prepared before making a video and clarifying new information if something comes about or changes!
@@chrisleehaessley I will buy the bootlegs with no remorse. Forcing consumers to buy into their streaming scams isn't going to work when we literally have been able to buy physical media of our movies and shows for nearly the last 50 years.
great for Amerika but what about EU Belgium never got Viper Series or Superforce and companies want to force subscriptions streaming studios are choosing digital to cut costs manufacturing and Shipping
People also saying the physical media going away thing due to Redbox filing for bankruptcy. What they don’t realize is when Walmart remodeled their stores, those stores didn’t have room for the kiosks anymore so they dropped them. Ty for the update man and keep up the fantastic work please! Love the content and you are awesome.
I think it depends on the title. New cinema movies yeah, they're still being put out on physical media. When it comes to Music DVDs, I'm sure they're on the decline.I haven't seen many new titles come out for that in a while.
"people don't read past the headline" And THAT is the main problem, which many disingenuous news/information media rely on. I saw this story the other day and it didn't take much reading on to see it was about recordable discs...
Well said Mr Jeff,Always enjoy your videos am in the UK where this nonsense is always going around .Of course I expect there will be gradual reduction in the years to come but physical media is not going away for a long time. Have a great day.😊
Thanks for clarifying the issue. I didn't know it was about recordable discs until this video. There's been so many clickbait articles and videos going around.
Thank you, Jeff, as always, for the clarification! I actually did read further than the headline and knew this to be the case. But I was still waiting for your video on this topic. You never disappoint!
Sony is the only company that keeps getting negative press, I swear. And the worst part is that's neither their fault or responsibility, so here we are getting out of comfort just to debunk clickbait news.
Hi Jeff, loved the video. As you appear to be very knowledgeable on physical media do you think we are ever going to have any Hammer Horror movies on 4K ?.
The clarification still isn't good news. Recordable optical disc is an excellent format for archiving, with a small physical footprint and a traditionally low price. Cutting production on BDR sounds like they may also cut development (for greater storage per disc) unfortunately
Ou seja: Os colecionadores continuarão a ter seus filmes. Pena que aqui no Brasil, os estúdios como a Disney não lançam mais seus títulos aqui. E tiraram o Português de filmes lançados em outros países!
Until the day that 64TB hard drives are under 200 dollars there will always be a demand for blu-rays. Since we've been stuck in the 4-8TB range for high end affordability for like 10 years and since 24TB drives are 600 dollars I don't see that happening any time soon. It will probably be in like 2030-2032 that disc based media is completely phased out.
Random question but I figured since your the movie master you can help me. Do you know ow if sucker punch will ever come to 4K??? It’s on my wish list!
This is great work Jeff. I remember the death of the Dreamcast console because of a misinterpreted message that was released in the early 2000's saying they were slowing down production of the system and it got reported as shutting down production and that killed the system. Like you said properly fact checking in journalism is a dying art these days. So thank you for the facts and the efforts you put in.
We all know it’s just rumors! Why would Sony even end physical media of Blu ray movies, it’s still their cash cow since they’re publishing Disney movies and took over distribution from Disney! Also recordable Blu rays were never really popular, I’ve only used recordable blu ray for weddings and graduations, because they’re meant to be archived physically.
It doesn’t change the fact that Sony knows that the film physical media market is shrinking each year. Eventually they will expand their involvement in streaming services. If 8k comes laserdisc will return with 100 inch televisions. That will save physical media.
Thank you Jeff to help us understanding these studios and physical media. I was afraid that Sony is cutting Blu-Ray altogether but as you said, you have to read to beyond the headlines which sadly this generation does not.
thank you for making this video i just heard the rumors but was not able to find the article i was scared to death i love my blurays and look foward to continue buying them in the future
My homie sent me a link to an article saying exactly what you debunked in this video, and when I read it, it specified that they're discontinuing some Blu-ray's and Blu-ray players IN JAPAN. I guess he missed that part when he read it 😂 F in the chat for our boys in Australia tho, their physical media market is getting absolutely decimated atm
They don't know that research is being done for 1 petabyte disc's so even if physical media goes away it'd definitely come back maybe by a new company even

Unfortunate that "SONY ENDING BLU-RAYS" is way better clickbait than "Sony is working with SDS for physical media distribution as part of their taking over the role of publication of Disney, Fox, and Touchstone titles"
Did you see same video as me, omg, Sony are cutting the BDR Division.
He does click bait too…
As a fan-editor who wants to put my edits on my shelf, I have bought so many BD-R-DLs. However, none of them have been Sony. If Verbatim stops making them I'll have a problem.
I do wonder how many are private label Sony discs though. It could impact those labels like Verbatim.
If you’re someone that makes their own short films it feels so sick to have your films on blu ray instead of just a file on ur computer or TH-cam link
Yet another example not just of how stupid people are, which has always been the case, but especially of how quickly the internet can promote that stupidity.
Exactly and they still kept doing this garbage since the dawn of streaming! It's getting really annoying! Don't people understand choices?
People will believe anything online n the news on tv

Thank u I was geting worried I live 45 min to walmart and I try to get my games there I like physical copy's
They are killing the production of BD-RE. For the consumer market.
This was so helpful man. Thanks for making this cuz I was FREAKING OUT.
You're right
My input is If physical media is dying. Why is disney making all their popular disney plus shows on physical steelbook collections
Ou seja: Os colecionadores continuarão a ter seus filmes. Pena que aqui no Brasil, os estúdios como a Disney não lançam mais seus títulos aqui. E tiraram o Português de filmes lançados em outros países!
I found terrifer 2 on VHS tapes at wal Mart in 2024 🎥📼
You're right. The titles are click bait and unfortunately so many people don't have basic reading comprehension skills.
Until the day that 64TB hard drives are under 200 dollars there will always be a demand for blu-rays. Since we've been stuck in the 4-8TB range for high end affordability for like 10 years and since 24TB drives are 600 dollars I don't see that happening any time soon. It will probably be in like 2030-2032 that disc based media is completely phased out.

i did not hear any of this lately, ppl get so paranoid jeff, thanks for this
What does SDS stand for?

Thank you so much. I totally missed that.
Studio Distribution Services.
Random question but I figured since your the movie master you can help me. Do you know ow if sucker punch will ever come to 4K??? It’s on my wish list!
I use recordable dvd's (dvd-r's) a lot. I have so much stuff recorded. I hope the format isn't coming to an end!
Thanks Jeff for clearing this issue up. The headlines got my attention, but you cleared it up. THANKS!
When it comes to my movies and video games. I will keep buying physical
BD-R for Cold Data Storage is even better than a HDD or SSD for its multi-decade century longevity of data retention.
Just Burn RAR files in parts of 23.23GB on each disc to archive your bits of data.
So. Since Best Buy is not selling anymore movies. Where do you buy your movies/ Steelbooks? Your goto shop. Thank you.
For me, I go to Walmart and Target for that.
does that mean australia is going to get back disney and 20th centry movies
Well, to teach them a lesson they shall hardly forget! At a new home!
Yes they are lol it even says they are slowing down on production and will end it in a few years
This is great work Jeff.

My homie sent me a link to an article saying exactly what you debunked in this video, and when I read it, it specified that they're discontinuing some Blu-ray's and Blu-ray players IN JAPAN. I guess he missed that part when he read it 😂 F in the chat for our boys in Australia tho, their physical media market is getting absolutely decimated atm
Thank you for this, I was starting to get worried for movies/ tv shows in physical media
Thanks for clearing everything up Jeff
You are correct but 30$ blu rays are not the business... I.E. "The First Omen"
Thank you! 🎉
Great video! Keep up the great work you do.
They don't know that research is being done for 1 petabyte disc's so even if physical media goes away it'd definitely come back maybe by a new company even
Jeff do you know if we will ever get A.I artificial intelligence on 4K??????
I just saw that headline this morning. Thank you Jeff for clearing this up
