- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 1 day ago:
This is a good point. Even worse! Weird anamorphic? pixel aspect ratios (or maybe pan-and-scan crops? or hopefully that’s just VHS). With a bonus of interlacing! “The horror!” I haven’t ripped a DVD in ages due to video quality issues.

That sounds interesting! I’ve been using AV1 more and more (thanks to SVT-AV1-PSY/-HDR and devs pushing improvements to main). Also enjoying FHD animated AVIF (vs ancient GIF, although gif.ski helps). AV1 video is not as soft as it once was; with synthetic film grain, and combined with OPUS audio, it’s all wonderful.

And decent resolution: DVD is forever stuck at tiny 480p MPEG. While Blu-ray is up to 4K HEVC.

Does anybody remember a decade ago when it leaked Microsoft has some concepts about restrictions on discs (used/shared), everyone gasped, Sony mocked them in a video about “sharing discs” on PS4 and became a turning point in the console wars?
Even a decade later: Remove discs at your peril! Half the reason I’ve even bought consoles is for Blu-ray movies (unbeatable AV quality). Sony won the fucking console and disc drive wars and it was still not enough.
