Buy Blu-rays. Highly underrated.

  • The sound and video quality is the best you'll get anywhere.
  • It selectively supports the movies and artists you like.
  • You get amazing extras and documentaries about the movie.
  • Nobody can take the movie away from you.
  • You can rip the disc with MakeMKV to view digitally with Jellyfin.

Found a movie I couldn't buy digitally, but could buy the bluray.

It's a forgotten art form. There were hidden things in the menus and fun little menu transitions.

And it was trivially easy to make my own digital copy. I fully support this post.

Thing is, nobody owns a Blu-ray player.

Why not? They're cheap as fuck now, and if you have a xbox one or ps4 or newer (one that still has a disc drive), you already have a fucking blu ray player.

My phone has a VPN client, a torrent client, and a video player, but it doesn't have a Blu-ray player.

Do you expect me to watch movies on some sort of non-portable screen? What is this, 1997?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I rip my Blu-rays and upload to my Plex server. Once that's done, I can stream the movies to my phone via the Plex app. It's super easy.

Playstation 3, 4, and 5 sold a combined 280 million units, that's a decent number of Blu-Ray players.

1080 for most disks, with 4K when marked ultra hd. It's worth noting disk video is usually uncompressed, so it may very well look better than a stream of the same resolution.

Just being a bit pedantic here, but they're much less compressed since their source is generally the original recordings. Anything you get from streaming services is much more heavily compressed, and anything you're likely to pirate is compressed from DVD or Blu-ray sources (or worse, they can be compressed from already compressed streaming sources.)

The 4K UHD Blu-Rays are in 4K HDR. But the average Blu-Ray is 1080p.
