Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.
phx@lemmy.ca 11 months agoBack when I actually used a Blu-Ray player, it did take an update to play certain discs.
I don’t bother with them anymore. DVD is sufficient quality and rips to files easily for low-profile additions to my library

Delusional. Also DVD has region locks as well.

It really is. I have a ton of movies even lower res than DVD, like 480x272 (because way back in 2008 I wanted to be able to play them on my PSP which couldn’t handle anything bigger…) and they’re perfectly watchable. But of course I grew up on broadcast TV and VHS, it’s all uphill from there.

Yeah. Literally just watched “The Terminator” - which I legally bought on DVD and ripped - on a 65" OLED TV streamed from my Plex instance and it was perfectly fine. I do watch higher-res stuff but honestly at couch-distance DVD quality is enough

Yes, exactly. I’ll notice the quality difference if I’m standing 3 feet away from the screen, but that’s not how I watch movies.
