I notice the quality when I first put in a dvd, but once I get into the movie I don’t notice anymore.

Blu-ray is the lane I prefer to stay in.

There are a lot of movies that are only available on DVD.... If you dont get the DVD then your never going to have it..

Spent 25 bucks at a pawn shop for 9 Blu-rays and a 4k blu ray.

Buying used, curating your collection with things YOU watch, and utilizing DVD are great options for cheap. I've been buying used movies for cheap on DVD, and its budget friendly, and to me the quality isn't great but its not distractingly bad. Love my 4k and blu ray collection, but honestly, a $3 DVD is worth it if it means Im doing more mindful spending.

Im also grateful that I buy what I like instead of buying it just because a boutique label released it.

Best thing about DVD's is that you can easily watch them through a computer. Blu Rays require additional software and constant updates. I grew up in the 80's and DVD quality looks fine to me.

i prefer jellyfin over plex lol.  i buy my physical media and then i rip to a server machine so i dont have to always handle the discs

I've been collecting Physical media for years now. I'm 54 and retired so I've been adding to my DVDs, CDs, Blu Ray and Games . I've Curated a collection of Entertainment that affords me an Aesthetic in my Man Cave. I'm surrounded by Memories and Nostalgia. I've lived too long to adapt to a digital world entirely. And I like the idea of Ownership and the Visceral and Tactile experience. It all adds up to a Great Value proposition.😊

Be like me: spend a lot of money on your home theater set up and your discs AND save up to get massive storage solutions and a disc ripper so you can load your library on to a plex server.

if you truly love movies then you will have a physical collection

What I don't like is when people say they prefer physical Media because it's not as compressed as streaming and then they rip it,  then compress it for their server. 😂

i just get 4ks of movies i really love and not all my movies but i don't get DVDs unless there isn't a Blu-ray box set of a show i want

I spend a lot on boutique titles now I sold a lot of regular blu rays but kept a lot too. I buy regular/common blu rays for $2.99 at a retro video game shop

I love the honesty in this video.

My video on this would be a Youtube Short of me going "Thrift stores, people!" and then turning off the camera.

Dvd is fine for me. At my local thrift stores they are 0.25-0.50 cent each. Really fun way to collect them for these prices

I do both - nearly 500 movies between DVD's(most of my collection), blu ray's and 4k blu ray. I rip them as soon as I get it and most of the time watch off of my Plex server but will on occasion watch from the disc. Like having the discs, but also having my Plex server.

If I'm spending the money on a 4K it needs to be a film I love and a film that greatly benefits from the upgrade.  Planes,Trains, and Automobiles is a beloved classic but it's not some sweeping epic with amazing cinematography and sound design. My Blu Ray copy is just fine.

The extras are a sticking point for me.  I've looked at several 4k releases and noticed that the extras are basically non-existent. Usually it's the Blu-ray version that has all the extras.  New DVDs have the same problem especially Disney.  Where the DVD only had the movie. Gotta read the labels or you might go home with a movie only to discover it doesn't have any extras.

flea market is my go to for dvds or blurays lately. ive found almost the entire infinity saga physically for about 70$ so far by buying secondhand including a copy of iron man for a whole 50 cents. its a top tier experience
