DVDs are on their way back mostly cuz streaming services keep removing content on a whim without any notice, whereas on dvd they can’t take it away from you, also dvds are dirt cheap rn
Been collecting over the last year, feels satisfying owning an actual collection of shows and movies I like. I feel like physical media might become a novelty thing eventually like vinyl records are now.
It’s honestly sad to see how few times I see people not buying DVDs at my local Goodwill. It’s so bad, they had to lower the price from $3 to $1 and now even as low as $0.50!
I was born in the early '90s, so for almost my entire childhood I grew up with VHS, but I think in 2004 or 2005 my parents bought me a Hyundai DVD player and the first DVD movie I watched was The SpongeBob Movie and the jump in picture quality was mind blowing at the time. I have fond memories of renting DVDs, I really liked those which included 2 discs, the second one featuring extras like interviews, behind the scenes and "games"
VHS and DVDs were a part of my childhood along with many others in millennial and Gen Z generations. I believe streaming could be the culprit for the collapse of DVD sales. But, physical media is nostalgic and better than streaming.
DVD is not declining and have increased in the last year or so with many people. I have bought 30 in the last 3 months. I was paying £2-£3 for DVD's whereas a 4K might be £20. Also, there are many films still only on DVD. I have no interest in 4K and don't need the latest picture quality or sound quality. In the past I had over 2000 DVD's .
I like getting dvds and blurays for cheap and then trying to use h265 to get the entire movie and all of its extras to fit onto little 8cm miniDVDs It's such a fun process. I even make icons, M3U playlists, and even the little ini files that add a description to the CD drive in explorer 😄 The funnest challenge I've ever done is get an entire(13 episode) TV show season onto one, in 720p HD. With its extras and everything. I can't imagine how good AV1 would be for this since miniDVDs are only about 1.4GB but well.. I can't do AV1 yet. 🥀
Okay, this may be a technical "nitpick" but true nonetheless . . . DVDs (more accurately discs under the DVD-Video specification) are 480i (not 480p). The underlying MPEG stream is interlaced, though all modern DVD players will deinterlace and provide a progressive signal (though this is only through HDMI and *maybe* component, composite/s-video connections are obviously limited to interlaced output).
I still watch DVDs (in addition to Blu-Rays) but, these days, I pretty much only watch DVDs on the same 13-inch Macbook Pro screen on which I am typing this comment and, on a 13-inch screen, DVDs still look pretty good (especially considering that I think there's some upscaling going on either with the Mac itself or within VLC).
Can't understand why DVD is still king when it comes to physical media? With alot of movies and shows, especially TV series still getting DVD only releases. Loved the 2 TED movies but didn't even know there was A TED TV series. Shows how much these streaming services don't promote there shows. Or alot of times even care to release it physically.
Streaming services being way too much is no longer a hot take. But people are too attached to convenience and on demand, I guess? I don't get it personally, I'm a blu-ray user and i'm doin' just fine on a shoestring budget
Oscar, I BEG OF YOU, to make a video on Pokemon talk, a youtube plush series by MANDJTV, it was a great fucking series I used to binge when I was younger
yes physical media sales are down for sure big time but dvds sells way more then blu rays and 4k's do but why do u think 4k's haven't taken off yet at all and why are people buying dvds over blu rays and 4k's
Yes blu ray does seem worse (I don't count the crap £1 DVD's of films no one ahs heard off). I was collecting DVD's back in 1998 and the covers and collections were much high standard. Now, you get re-releases where they have saved money on selling crap packaging and rubbish cover art. Even the new Nightmare on Elm Street 4K has Freddy images from the 3rd Nightmare film on the cover and the menu.
@@notyourboi01 I got the the US Prey today and yet again it is one of the blu rays with the crap recycling cutout in the case which make the case very weak.
0:00 He shows an example of what a DVDs is . . . It's *High School Musical 2* 🤨, and not some cool dvd a teen or young adult would have purchased around that time.. The video Cuts to an image of that Uncanny Valley CGI live action *Chipmunks* film that came out "recently". I'm led to believe that the creator of this video was probably 4 to11 years of age when High School Musical 2 was popular. Can this video really teach me anything? Do I dare "waste" 15mins of my life to find out or do I just rant about my discomfort in the comments section? Why not both ?
People that grew up in the 2010s still were around VCRs. I dont know how it was in America, but here in Germany most families still had a vcr, even if just for taping tv until around 2011. But I think we also still had analogue satellite tv longer than the US. It literally only got turned off last year in this country.
Physical media is GOATed.
Internet? Not required
Quality? 480p - 4K UHD
Sound? Stereo - Atmos
Ads? None during the movie
Cost? 5 - 25$ per disc
Compression? None
Hotel? Trivago
@@LemonSoundLogosPhysical still has compression, just much less than streaming.
@@washere3955 i heard thether tapes have like 1tb or something per movie, so 4k is the best way for you to get the highest quality thing.
Afraid of it becoming a "realizing it's too late to now care about DVDs" kinda thing 😢
Physical media should be preserved
It’s not too late! Start collecting now
wdym too late. Theyve been the cheapest its ever been, even if none are produced any more
DVDs are on their way back mostly cuz streaming services keep removing content on a whim without any notice, whereas on dvd they can’t take it away from you, also dvds are dirt cheap rn
But why DVD and not blu ray? Who wants standard definition in 2024.
@@goldenhourkodak upscaling exists on modern cheap dvd players.

Wished they lowered the price here.
Alot of those are usually movies people already own on physical media when the movie isnt straight up crap
I never gave up collecting physical media, never trusted streaming and don’t use it. Today I consider my choices to have been very wise
i love DVDs, i still use them pretty actively with my ps2
so do i & my blu ray player
keep in mind, if you got a slim, they can scratch both game and movie dvds
I still buy and watch DVDs
As of 2024, DVD is still the most sold physical media format on the market. It overtook blu ray in 2021 and has held the title ever since.
I was born in the early '90s, so for almost my entire childhood I grew up with VHS, but I think in 2004 or 2005 my parents bought me a Hyundai DVD player and the first DVD movie I watched was The SpongeBob Movie and the jump in picture quality was mind blowing at the time.

Physical media will never die. I still buy CDs, DVDs, cassettes,VHS. Most of my films, are DVDs, with some Blu rays, 4K.
Forgot about my records.
You overlooked 8mm and super 8 film. They were a home media before VHS/Beta.
it all started going down hill at the release of Click on DVD
I’ve always been an advocate for physical media I have nothing against streaming services but they don’t give you everything
In the uk its actually 576p not 480p thats a us thing and dvds can be 8.5gb if its dual layered

PHYSICAL MEDIA BETTER THAN STREAMING 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
to be fair the ted show is really good imo, the show gives more time to develope charaters rather than squishing everything into 1 film
Can you make video about DVD ,blu ray, and 4K Blu-ray packaging since there a lot that are bad and good packaging. Also good video. 👍
The background music is giving me flashbacks 🫣
Now that Redbox is over, I am hamstrung for getting DVDs. I used to copy them to my Beta machine so I could only pay for 1 night and watch them later.
A high quality external video upscaler makes DVD videos look gorgeous and sharp. Just saying.

I still get DVD movies if the blu ray is sold out

I have some DVDs and Videocassettes and Don’t worry, I have a Disney+ account so I can watch The Rescuers Down Under.

Awesome vid
Great video
yes physical media sales are down for sure big time but dvds sells way more then blu rays and 4k's do but why do u think 4k's haven't taken off yet at all and why are people buying dvds over blu rays and 4k's
0:50 What store is this?
fucking DDLC jumpscare in the beginning of the video
Except for the fact that DVD sales make up the bulk of physical media purchases and are up year over year. Troll alert.
@@Anonymous-wb3nz did u just call somebody a troll in 2024?💀
Weirdly enough 480 p isn't that bad for me I feel how its naturally intended to watch
try 3000 or so on dvd
Is it just me or is Blu ray cover art worse than the DVD ones?
I think it’s just the fact that dvd art covers the whole of the case while stupidly blu ray shows bottom and top of the case which I hate
theres alot of dvds with terrible covers too. Its just solely coincidence.
Yes blu ray does seem worse (I don't count the crap £1 DVD's of films no one ahs heard off). I was collecting DVD's back in 1998 and the covers and collections were much high standard.

DVD cases feels so good to hold while blu ray feels cheap. But ofc steelbooks are better.
