Any DVD made from 2007-Present looks just fine on modern TV's as long as the TV isn't super massive and the video settings are properly calibrated. I'll even go one step further and say that movies often lose some of their kino "texture" when they get "muh ultra HD" treatment.
>Any DVD made from 2007-Present looks just fine on modern TV's as long as the TV isn't super massive and the video settings are properly calibrated.
they absolutely don't, moron. no TV calibration in the world is going to make a 480p encode look good
I noticed on my old DVD player that video quality could be pretty decent if I used proper component video cables in a good 1080p TV. I thought 480p could look like shit, but it was only my old Wii that had shit video output.
I've also found that the older shows I would like to rewatch are either unavailable or tend to jump between streaming services. Columbo, WKRP, The Pretender, Forever Knight, Slings & Arrows, these are all things that, combined, cost me about 300 usd to acquire but I'd have to keep paying for three different services otherwise without even getting all of them or a guarantee that they'd stay on those three and I won't end up having to pay for a fourth.
Sometimes I want to own a movie and guarantee it will play perfectly. Streaming services have turned into shit lately. Last time I tried to stream a movie frim Amazon Prime, it kept fluctuating between HD and 240p youtube video quality.

Well, my parents have an old tv (2015 maybe) and no internet, so when I downloaded The Batman for them and plugged in the usb HD, you could only watch maybe 20 seconds and then it buffered for 1 second and then repeat.
Also English is not their first language, or even second, so unless the subs are hard coded specifically in their language (unlikely), they're gonna have a hard time understanding, as well.
So to them, a blue-ray makes more sense.
Because they cant have scenes and dialogue changed to pander to delusional idiots. They cant put up warnings incase snowflakes get upset. They can't remove scenes that dont align with their agendas. They cant remove the movie or degrade the quality it's in. That's why.

forget blu-rays, why do people still buy dvd's?
DVDs work in my car. It is nice when kids movies include the DVD for that reason.

I received a DVD vhs combo CRT TV for free and it is wild how good they look on them as they are wired directly in.
damn that sounds like a nice piece
I had a black and white tv when I was a kid. As an old man with less-than-stellar eyesight, 480p is just fine for me.

Sorry, I also got Soap and Magnum PI for that 300.

The region protection can be overriden in most players with zero effort.

Suck on my sweaty nutsack homosexual
You seriously keep your eyes peeled to check whether someone makes an autocorrect mistake? Go be autistic somewhere else
Because when the internet gets shut down I'll have all my favorite movies physically and can watch them

what if the disc breaks or you lose it
What if I'm blinded in an accident? I'll never see anything again
Easy
>Build NAS.
>Rip BD.
>Jellyfin docker.
>Watch digitally.
>Store physical as backup.
Streaming bitrate is shit
>the only two ways to watch content is streaming or blu rays
Your pirated content is just a rip bro.

people derive pleasure out of feeling of owning things
Streaming quality is shit and the Blu-Ray rips you find online to pirate aren't much better.
Because I like owning my movies, homosexual
>>Dude, just, like stream and keep paying fees

Id be with you if it wasn't for forced ads and trailers on a dvd/bluray I paid good money for. Piracy is the answer.
That's why laserdisc was elite in its day
I buy physical copies of media I really enjoy. So right now that is BD and vinyl.
I hate zoomers so much

Someone needs to rip them.

Take the Blu-raypill.
