      @@deluxeshowandtell, yes, I organize my movies (and music) by genre and sometimes, I even have subgenres or subcategories. For example, my genres have alphabetized movie titles within each genre and they include:
      - Action/Adventure
      - Animation (with a subcategory of Anime, Disney, Depatie-Freleng, Hanna-Barbera, MGM, Walter Lantz, Warner Bros, etc.)
      - Comedy
      - Drama (with subcategories of historical dramas first followed by contemporary dramas)

      - Horror
      - Musicals or musical artist performances
      - Sci-fi
      - TV series
      - Westerns

      Other collectors also organize their movies by studio releases, so their Shout Factory titles are together, their Kino Lorber titles, Arrow Video, Synapse, Blue Underground, Code Red, etc. but I find my system is complicated enough without having to remember which company released which movie, etc. :)

      I do think it's convenient that most Bluray players are backwards compatible with DVDs. Also helps that a lot of game consoles from the 2000s have players built-in so you don't need two boxes. Honestly a PS3 or PS4 might just be the best all-around media device since it's a game console AND Bluray player AND DVD player, aside from something like building a dedicated HTPC. Just kind of a shame they never made a *genuinely* small version like they did with the PS2 since at the size the PS3 and PS4 are it's pretty much the same size as just having a small BD/DVD and a PS2 or something lol.

    One of my favourite things about DVD's is the blooper reel and extra features that you get, often with a second DVD. Physical media really is the 'whole' package. Yeah, we've definitely been duped by 'convenience', only to have several of the good things shaved off from the original experience. So glad I've kept my collection, which dates back to the early 2000s.

Plus no ads, all the benefits of streaming without a monthly cost or concern of them going away.

Have all my DVDs/Blu Rays under my bed in binders. Around ~2000 of them, where the average acquisition cost was around $2.50 a disk. So about $5K total. I ditched cable in 2007 so at that time you were paying ~$60 a month (and that was pretty low back then) or saved $720 a year, so in less than 7 years of cable cost savings -- you could say I've purchased my DVD collection. Free and clear!!
      I am big on streaming being complementary. Used to have zero paid streaming services but I did end up getting Netflix $16 a month for my girlfriend. Don't get it for the movies -- my girlfriend likes the Netflix specific shows. So, this is an example where streaming is complementary -- but get this I'm only paying $16 a month total. And what's allowed me to do this. Physical media!! And I also use free ad-supported streaming services to some extent like Pluto and of course You Tube.

      @@Lorfarius I did - got rid of both the cases and paper inserts. However, I've heard of some people storing the paper inserts in a separate binder and throwing only the plastic cases away, which is an interesting idea -- the main thing is get rid of the plastic cases, which takes up a ton of space.
      Now the disadvantage of getting rid of the cases is it kills any re-sale value, but I argue re-sale value is low anyway, and I am not interested in re-selling anything. I'd rather not take up the space (my priority). With binders thaht have DVD sleeves I easily can store all ~2000 of my DVDs/BluRays under my bed. Binders are organized by Genre -- and then alphabetically within a genre binder. I can find most movies in less than 30 seconds. One of the reasons I haven't digitized all my DVDs is this method works so well -- but at some point, I will digitize everything -- price of storage has dropped enough that this is very feasible. Just the work of doing it! One day. 🙂

    You've convinced me. As soon as my Prime and Netflix subscriptions run out, I'm switching to physical media. A mixture of DVD and Blu Ray, depending on cost and availability. I'm already moving my existing physical media collection into plastic sleeves to save space, which will enable me to purchase more physical media in the future without taking up a ton of room. I'll probably donate the cases to a nearby music or video store.

    Keep up the good work Deluxe Show and Tell. I am an avid physical media collector. Have been since my first DVD in around 1996. Most of my collection/library now is 4K UHD
    steel book editions, along with slipcovers of some. I do have some DVDs as well, and won't be parting ways with those, at least the ones I have not upgraded to High Grade 4K.
    Currently as of March 2024, I own over 1,200 movies, TV show sets, documentaries, comedies, you name it. I love all genres.
    Do I buy everything that comes out? Of course not, only what I really like to watch or actors/actresses that I enjoy seeing.
    Just because Best Buy is not going to sell physical media any longer doesn't mean that it is going away. We still have Arrow Video, Shout Factory, Amazon, Vinegar Syndrome,
    Diabolique, Kino Lorber, Sony/Disney, and even Wal-Mart has stepped it up to fill the gap from Best Buy. That doesn't even include the thrift shops of all types.

    Yes, physical media is the way to go when you have a secure place to keep them and have the space to let your collection grow, sometimes life doesn't work like that...people move, get kicked out, get divorced, relocate for work, or are situatons where you can't physically keep media, it sucks but I can see the convenience of streaming, it fits many people's on the go lives.

HUGE selection, easily in the 10K+ range all of the mainstream stuff that is arounds 3 years or older. Also, I love in your video that you show binders -- yes solved the space and organization problem by using binders in sleeves. I have binders by genre (and roughly alphabetic in the binder)-- so let's say I want to watch Bladerunner.

The one thing that annoys me is that the hardware required to play the media becomes harder and harder to get. Try getting a new VHS player or a high quality cassette player.

      You probably made a huge mistake there, getting rid of your DVDs believing they're 'upgraded' on Blu-ray or 4K, I've seen Blu-rays that look far worse than DVD. With most old DVD releases, you also get the closest to original color grading of movies as opposed to newer formats where the revisionists at the studios have taken over and messed around. Luckily, I've never fallen for it and stuck to DVD, the movie itself and how I like and remember it is what's important to me not what 'experts' want me to think I should suddenly like. Not going to mess with my head, they're not. ;-]

I watched Fight Club a few months ago and just watched SE7EN a few days ago. 23 years later both films played perfectly with no degradation in the picture. The thing I like about owning movies on disc is that it is a one time purchase. You pay once and can enjoy your purchase for decades. Like the paperback book I purchased in 1991 that I read again in 2023. Most of my discs are Blu Ray but I have recently started buying some DVDs again.

    I tend to upgrade my old DVDs to Blu-Ray when I find good deals but some stuff is DVD only and also I always check, some DVDs upscale well, that always makes me happy. I've found my DVDs of The Simpsons classic years, The Wire and Parks and Recreation upscale very well and for whatever reason they never reissued and remastered classic years Simpsons for Blu-Ray but it doesn't matter, the DVDs look great! I recommend buying a multi region Blu-Ray player, it'll upscale your DVDs and give you way more choices for DVDs and Blu-Rays to get. I discovered I like the quality of the UK released Mad Men Blu-Rays better and sometimes North American shows weren't as popular in the UK or Europe so it's a cheaper way to get series sets.

I regret downscaling my collection years back, and the last couple years have been at least trying to reacquire the movies I value, or know are controversial enough that they may disappear otherwise.

    It doesn’t matter if I have VHS or DVD or Blu-Ray (Standard and 4K), I still collect these pieces of physical media, I do buy content from digital store fronts don’t get me wrong, not only for some convenience but because certain content isn’t available on physical media or streaming services, but I’ll never rule out physical media now, and for the foreseeable future, and also I want to own that content for the rest of my life and be thankful that I’ll still have it years later.

    When i was a kid, we used to have a whole shelf of dvds but when we moved out, we had to donate them to make space and switched to Netflix because it had the same quality at the time ( the basic plan) and then replace Netflix with Disney plus and saw almost the entire mcu and i wanted to see "Spider man far from home" and "No way home" but Disney didn't had them at the time (summer 2023) and i bought a blu ray player, just to see those movies and was surprised that blu ray players were only around 50 to 70 Dollars and i bought it with the home trilogy of spiderman and i soon realize it has better quality then Disney plus and soon started buying more blu rays and it felt so good to hold the movie knowing i own the movie forever and has better quality with extra features.

    The average life span of DVDs is only 20 years, then they start to degrade over time. The average life span of Blurays is 100+ years. Do not waste your money on DVDs. Buy Blurays instead. 🤔

    19:20 On this point, the TVs out nowadays, if you get a specifically Blu-ray player (you don't have to get a 4K player) can be upscaled on good TVs.
    So basically, grab a bluray player with HDMI out, and let your TV do the rest, it's really that shrimple 😆

  • @doctorakiba
    @doctorakiba 3 месяца назад

    A blu-ray is better in terms of quality, especially now that 4k 60hz screens are more accessible. And they are reasonably priced (never as dirt cheap as DVDs though). As for conversion to portable digital format, they can be ripped at full or lower/compressed quality depending on the need.
    The only real draw for me for DVDs are the extras, which are often not included in the bluray 4K UHD editions (sometimes they are in the regular bluray).
    In any case, it is always amazing to find people who advocate for having true ownership over things they have purchased. I salute you all.

    • @deluxeshowandtell
