thedrizzle,

With Sonarr/Radarr and Jellyfin, that convenience has effectively been trumped. I don’t know how they can compete

thedrizzle,

Wow that’s old.

Frankly, as shitty is a lot of that stuff was, DVDs were like the last form of media distribution that I would actually call tolerable in terms of consumer friendliness. You still got a physical disk with the actual movie that was easy to rip and share, no internet required. If it weren’t for the quality limitations, I’d still collect them as the primary physical backup to my media server.

the only big shortcoming to DVDs was the region locking …

monstoor,

That’s why we had a market for region-free DVD players!

max2078,

Some of these players even skipped the unskippable intros and always started at the main menu. The best thing for legit buyers and enthusiasts back in the day. And don’t forget the (S)VCD support and DivX/Xvid support. Good old times.
