You have my respect. I spent actual years converting my VHSes, DVDs, and BDs to MKV (previously MP4). I have around 1000 discs, about half are TV and the other are movies. AVGN also mentioned how BDs generally have LESS features than DVDs. I compress them a decent amount (about 1/4 of the filesize, but they're usually going from MPEG2 to AVC/MP4). I thankfully haven't been spoiled by 4K. I don't have a display that supports it and I can't imagine how huge the raw files must be.
Why DVD still exist?? - it's affordable - most average household doesn't care about quality - it's easy to own and obtain - most TV shows are printed on DVD - average household at least has a DVD player
@ yes but the average person isn’t tech savvy like that or aren’t aware they can do so. I download movies free 4k remux on a 12tb hard drive but i still do collect psychial media
I’m a victim of 4k, but I still by a lot of classic tv shows on DVD. You’re right on the audio factors too. The Terminator has finally regained its original mono track. Despite all its releases, that hasn’t been heard on home media since the VHS.
DVD is still massive in Australia compared to uk where Blu Ray was adopted a lot earlier. Australia still sells dvd in supermarkets aswell . Not everyone had jumped upto a 4k tv
DVD is still important to me for two reasons: firstly, the sentimental factor and secondly, the nostalgia factor. Films like the original Star Wars trilogy are more than enough for me. In this limited DVD edition, it looks good to me. In the end, it's about the film for me and not about having the best quality if it's not the version I prefer. Not to forget a good Bluray player can also make the DVD look better. For me, the days of jumping on a new format are over, especially when it's no longer about the film itself, if we're being honest.
I still buy dvds on a regular basic - mostly tv shows that aren't on bluray yet (or I'm not THAT bothered about) but often horror movies i haven't seen, or can get cheap off of Ebay. My favourite movies I've upgraded to bluray, but on the whole I'm still happy with dvd. I didn't bother with 4k because I know there will be an upgrade to that in the coming years, and I'm perfectly happy with the shiny discs I already have. Now if the next gen disc will allow me to have the entire Friday The 13th franchise on one disc - and at great quality - then I'm all in.
14:43 Mill Creek set doesn't have the original intro, it's a reedit. From season 4-11, the With Children stamp clang doesn't start in it's original spot. It clangs on Peggy's credit and the later season it clangs on Marcy's credit. While the 1st 3 seasons clangs at the right spot. Mill Creek took the audio intro from the first season and replace it on season 4-11, so that's why you hear the song, but the intro is out of place. They didn't go thru the actually transfer and redo the intro, Mill Creek took the audio and copy and paste it to season 4-11, known as a reedit. Currently, if you watch Married with Children on CoziTV, they are airing the correct original broadcast intro of all the seasons, previously when it was on FaveTV, they were airing the Mill Creek version. Here's the FavTV, using the Mill Creek reedit version, it clangs on Peggy's credit. y2u.be/sIS5ILKztgo
Hey Jamie another awesome video to start off the day! I’ve fallowed you almost when you started. But I haven’t commented cause I didn’t really have anything to say, but today I got something. This might be slightly off topic given this videos subject. But I think I’m officially done with digital across the board. (Even though I’m aware there are still some pros to digital) But! No joke at the time of this comment. Only last night I went to redownload my Hitman games trilogy, I only need to grab 2 of the 3 cause Blood Money was already on my PS3 hard drive….guess what two games were missing in my downloads… I went and searched on the ps3 psn store, the trilogy pack was there alright, but it was asking me to buy it again for 40 bucks!! What the hell! I’m already a physical media collector, got healthy amount of movies and games myself, and only went to digital at times if I couldn’t find what I was looking for physically. But now, with what has happened, and there’s been other things removed from other devices I own. I’m just trying to keep this already big message trimmed as much as possible…..but I’m Feck’n DONE with digital.
If there is something I'm interested in and it's on Blu Ray as well as DVD then I'll buy it on Blu Ray because it's going to look a little better and in a lot of cases (at least with older releases or 2nd hand) it'll only cost a little bit more than a DVD, so I'll think 'Why not?', just seems like a no brainer to me. But I can still be totally happy with watching even something on VHS. Not going to bother with 4k though as I don't want to get rid of the TV that I'm already happy with and which has sentimental value to me, and to then spend a load of money on a 4k one, and then buying a 4k player. It just doesn't seem worth it to me just so I can to experience a better picture quality which might not even be that noticeable anyway. Also for all I know maybe SD and HD will look pretty bad on a 4k TV. I'm totally happy with what I've already got.
Hollywood pictures is a label from Disney,Dangerous minds whas a huge hit in 95,also in 95 from Hollywood pictures,While you where sleeping and Crimson tide,all 3 passed the 100 million mark at the box office.
I still think it has to do with SOME people are poor, they can't afford Blurays, and they DEFINITELY can't afford a bluray player, 1080p TVs are cheap/I don't even know if you can get a 1280x720p TV, new anymore, I also think A LOT of people are cheap, obviously 1280x720p looks terrible, compared to 1920x1080p, but if DVD is all you can afford, thats fine, I guess, it has to be fine in that case, because that person can't afford blurays. I do agree, if your not watching on a 55inch TV/65inch or bigger, 18x9 isn't enough/16x9, is still my favorite aspect ratio, even though all of my TVs are 55inches or bigger, but 18x9 is passable, on a 55inch/65inch TV or bigger. Like I've said in the past, I buy new blurays, I have a lot of bluray players, I have one 4k player, I'll buy a 4k disk, as long as it comes with a bluray too. Obviously SOME movies/TV shows don't offer a bluray version/it only has a DVD version, bluray players help with that, with upscaling.
Given you said Trash, I assume you're American and use NTSC format. Australia uses PAL. NTSC has better fps, PAL has better resolution. As a result, PAL DVD's still look half decent (ignoring panning stuttering). Not the greatest, but not "Trash" either.

Love the raw, no cut videos brother! Your channel is therapy for me personally. Long live physical media 👽🛸🍿
Man you have a talent for this I just watched the whole thing before I realized it 😂 Great video and I subbed

Torrents or nzbs are free and in 4k tho
@ yes but the average person isn’t tech savvy like that or aren’t aware they can do so. I download movies free 4k remux on a 12tb hard drive but i still do collect psychial media
@@blackmetalhead5883 Is it an external hard drive? I am afraid they just stop working inexplicably and I can't get one which is that many TB's.
DVDs pass the "good enough" test for many people, most people just like to watch movies and they don't care what format it's on.
If you have or you can find the DVD of a movie at least you can still watch the movie AND YOU OWN IT. NOBODY CAN TAKE IT AWAY

It's on my DVD

You're a great storyteller. Most of the series I like are very cheap to buy on DVD. They might be hard to get in the future. Nothing beats physical.

Weird that so many charity shops and other shops still sell dvds and some sell vhs tapes and I’m still collecting them today interesting video mate
Interesting however, I drive an expensive car because I enjoy the car. I can careless what other people think lol.
Damn it but I miss 📼 videotapes ! Renting them used to be huge business for Hollywood. It was how most people saw movies 🎥 actually.
Because DVDs are awesome! Best home media format of all time.
@@Bibliophilo looks awesome on a 42 inch tv
I think DVD beat VHS because people had a great experience before with music CDs for years. Then the DVD was a no-brainer and familiar-looking.

I always buy dvds just can't get myself to fully comit to blu ray or 4k blu rays I rather they abandoned those formats and bring Laserdisc back
They exist because people buy them. I prefer 4k/blu 2 recent titles dvd was all I could find. With one title I'd been hunting for 11 years.
If there is something I'm interested in and it's on Blu Ray as well as DVD then I'll buy it on Blu Ray because it's going to look a little better and in a lot of cases (at least with older releases or 2nd hand) it'll only cost a little bit more than a DVD, so I'll think 'Why not?', just seems like a no brainer to me.

Hi there Jamie! What is your favorite Christmas Movie in your collection?

DVD is absolutely trash
Only if you're deaf
@clumpyschlipz7571 DVD is for people on a tight budget or extremely cheap
@@peakoil-ko5oq or if you want certian audio tracks
@@peakoil-ko5oq To Live and Die in LA's 4k disc has genuinely awfull audio compared to the DVD
