Disc Media

[Mark1989]

So I'm just curious it was a few years ago now but I sold up all my blu ray, dvd etc. Simply because they just collected dust for the most part

Does any one still hang onto physical media weather that be blu ray, dvd, 4k uhd etc?

In past week or so there has been few moments where I've wanted to watch some older films and there just not on any streaming services I'm subscribed to or on virgins on demand, it made me considering buying a physical product again

I prefer physical disks, but I rip them to my PC and stream via Plex on an Nvidia Shield. You get the same image and audio quality with the convenience of streaming.

I can store around 130 blurays on a 4Tb hard drive, UHD disks take up approximately double the space.

That's ripping just the film and English audio tracks, although in most cases the extras would only take up a few Gb more

I generally buy second hand to keep costs down, especially when most blurays only cost a couple of quid on eBay.

I still use streaming services as well, especially when some bluray transfers can be just the same as streaming.

Looking back I should have probably done that with some of mine as I had some older films that haven't been any on streaming service.

Is ripping them easy enough these days?
