I took a class on DVD creation back in the day, how to write the menus and link tracks and whatnot.

Time to shake off the ‘ol bootleg machine.

Also making a comeback because of things like Elsagate and YouTube Kids’ weird algorithms. Parents need to have reliable kid-friendly media that they can put on, without constantly needing to monitor it… And a DVD box set of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood won’t end up showing your kid softcore fetish content disguised as children’s videos, as soon as you walk away from the screen to make dinner.

I run a small Plex/Jellyfin server, and have a library specifically for kids’ shows. And my users can lock their kids’ accounts down so they can only access that library. So my various friends and relatives can put something on via Plex, and trust that it will stay safe for their kids.

I only rip them for jellyfin

Does this mean the case of 5.25" DVD burners I have will be worth something again?

You should know, depending on the type and quality of the media, that CD/DVDs degrade over time spanning from 5-20 years (very high quality presses/burns can last upward of 50, but you are likely not doing that at home). Probably doesn't matter for most use-cases, but just so people don't get the idea that it's good for long term storage past those rough estimates.

Ssd's and thumb drives are soooo much easier though Get jellyfin to serve it to your tv

If it hasn’t happened already, Netflix is dropping the new She-Ra show from their service, and they’ve never released a physical form.

Therefore, it is illegal to watch She-Ra.

Got annoyed when things started coming and going as early as 2018 and started a Blu-Ray collection. About 80% of it is secondhand. I’ll admit I still have a couple streaming services, but all the stuff I know I like is readily and consistently available now.

I believe a hard drive is cheaper now.
