I’m old enough to remember DVD-Rom features on DVDs which was basically a way for one to access more bonus content than what was on the DVD (usually it wasn’t much, and all you did was just access the movie or movie studio website to either play a game or watch a video or browse a gallery. Sometimes you could access stuff like PDFs or even get screensavers, but I’m not entirely sure about the last stuff).
The 2011 Star Wars Blu Ray set is one of the best blu ray sets, with over 40 hours of bonus features. And the Alien Anthology, with it's interactive MU-TH-ER mode.
There were special features on VHS tapes sometimes. Even as early as the 80's. Really hope you do a video on that subject since it's very interesting (to me at least).
I actually never knew about that, mostly cause I never grew up with VHS. That idea does sound very interesting so I'll do it whenever I can get my hands on some of those tapes lol
@@PlatinumYoshi If you want some examples of 80's VHS tapes with special features, the original 1984 VHS of Mickey's Christmas Carol, The original 1983 VHS of Benji's Very Own Christmas Story, and the original 1984 VHS of Benji Takes A Dive At Marineland. VHS tapes with special features were much more common in the 90s and 2000s.
even the ps vita had a second screen feature. when connected to a ps4 , select games would display information on the ps vitas screen or a mobile phone / tablet . games like fallout 4, Destiny 1 , AC4 Black Flag , PVZ Garden Warfare can utilize this feature to name a few. the feature still works aswell and the app is also still listed on the app store(not sure about google play though) so yea pretty cool
I feel like the second screen app stuff would actually work better today with streaming services and the fact that so many people watch movies while looking at their phone for half of it anyways.
I know there were some pop-up features on the DVDs of Evangelion: Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion. That DVD had some lore dumps (that are sometimes inaccurate due to poor translations) pop up, and the film will prompt you to pause so you can read some lore popups. Blu-ray can do this with second screen so you have links to look up the lore on your tablet without pausing the film. But again, it’s already better to look up the lore on an official proper khara-approved book or a fan wiki (which is actually more accurate than the Manga DVDs) on your tablet while watching the film. Most of the Ghibli films also have storyboard features on the second screen on Blu-ray. And they have the option of putting the final film on a corner of the screen, obstructing the storyboards. It would be cool if you can have the final film on the tablet and the storyboards on the TV, or vice versa, however you want.
6:32 Also funny, since Sony had made a financial loss from Blu Ray yet still couldn't let it go. The competing HD DVD by Toshiba that lost the HD format war actually didn't cause much issue for Toshiba once they lost.
There are still BD-Live discs being made. Mostly music albums on Blu-ray, especially ones from Square Enix like the Final Fantasy soundtracks. They allow you to sync up your Blu-ray player with a PC to download an MP3 copy of the album. One of these albums (I think it was Before Meteor: Final Fantasy XIV) had a hidden bonus track through BD-Live.
Never heard of this! This seems way too damn complicated. Especially if you needed to entertain a child. Why can’t they JUST watch the movie? Can’t imagine a kid wanting to look at concept art for the lion king. Great video and can’t wait for content in 2024! Happy New Year Yoshi
Even though the TH-cam algorithm is not great sometimes I am glad to find this interesting video. Special features on DVDs were interesting when I was younger.
You said kind of like the Wii U at the end, but I used my Wii U to watch this video on the TH-cam app. What now lol. Great video on a feature I never thought about but knew existed back at a time when companies pushed for tablets to be the next big thing. Thanks for the video!
Basically, if you buy a physical product-a Blu-ray, a dehumidifier, a chess board, whatever-that requires an internet connection and a smartphone app to fully function and for you to access all the features, expect it to stop working in 5 years. If you're lucky. The only exception might be smart home stuff that uses well-established protocols.
2:57 i've used a couple of these before: (1) the companion app for the 2012 kids' choice awards and (2) the companion app for "ruff-ruff, tweet, and dave" on sprout (now universal kids). the former was just a feed, but i guess it led to the interactive elements added to the nick website and app in 2013. the latter had you play along with the show, and i remember your device's microphone had to pick up audio of the show from your TV (because preschoolers totally wanted to cheese it lmao)
It's funny how many people dunked on the Wii U back in the day when literally everything else was also doing shit the Wii U was doing. Smartglass on Xbox, Second Screen with a PS Vita on the PS4 (and PS3), THIS FREAKIN' BLU-RAY THING, like god damn
Ik it failed cause of other things like the lack of third party support and poor marketing but I just find it funny how it correlated with a pretty short lived trend lol
@@PlatinumYoshieh, I think it really was because of the second screen Nintendo literally never found a point to the thing, which meant that most games didn't really improve using it. plus it meant that the actual console hardware was lacklustre due to Nintendo trying to make it as cheap as possible, and that led to most third party developers not wanting to waste their time on the Wii U. most issues of the Wii U stem from the second screen.
I'm like half and half when it comes to DVDs and Blu-Rays. I enjoy Blu-Rays a lot with their quality and extra features, but DVDs have a sense of comfort and nostalgia in me at least when it comes to certain releases lol. It just depends honestly
i would say something really mean but i already have 2 strikes on my account so ill be polite for now. i disagree, but thank you for YOUR opinyon @@RenaNeraLuv

The older Harry Potter releases had some sort of PC interaction. Never could get it to work, even on Windows 7...
i remember the spongebob movie dvd had a demo for employee of the month on it
tried on win 10 and it still worked lmaooo

Nintendo was the pioneer of dual screen features with games that linked your GBA to your GameCube

this is wild cuz i vividly remember binge watching deleted scenes, browsing concept art and old trailers on my Tasm DVD
Can't wait for the lost BD-live content to be uploaded by an unknown user on tiktok
That would be so funny LOL

now i need to watch your videos while playing PLATINUMYOSHI SECOND SCREEN MINIGAMES 🗣🗣‼‼🔥🔥
Really stinks knowing some of this stuff is lost media, especially Tron Legacy, I was in love with that movie as a kid.
Nearly forgot that this channel existed, hope you're doing well!
I'm doing well, thank you! I got some ideas for 2024 so hopefully I can upload more when that year hits lol

YIPPEE
I don't remember that i subscribed to you but im glad i did
good video bruh!! now if u excuse me, i GOTTA go watch the little mermaid in theatres with my ipad right now-
thank youuuu!!!
Besides PS3 Games and Spider Man 3 that came with it, I have never owned a blue ray, so all of this was strange news to me.

Very thank!
who thought this was a good idea?
No idea, the 2010s were weird lol
Funny enough I have a DVD of The amazing Spider-Man 1 and includes all the bonus features and don't require a app

god that means that the portal q was not the first gamepad sony ever made
Tbh bluray had so many good features even being connected online streaming your killing things for us collectors
I don't honestly know what to say? This is just very odd that is was a thing.
Mmm yes obviously I want to connect my blu ray player to the internet
yt algorithm working
That so cool! Pls I wish we get more app like these.
I want The little mermaid and Aladdin! Pls more!
7.4GB for a typical retail movie DL dvd. BD goes up to 50 in DL
