Can we stop the nonsense? Sony is not stopping the production of Blu-ray movies and physical media is not dying. This is all just bad reporting, clickbait, and headline grabbing from people who don’t understand the industry. Let’s clear it all up in this video.

Phew, I was extremely worried/anxious about physical media formats and it's future, we need to preserve movies/TV shows, games, music or any kind of entertainment on any physical format, it's great to have access to them anytime without needing an Internet connection or subscribing to a streaming service and having them in the best quality available in which no digital can match nor surpass and it's important to preserve them for future generations.

Sony is probably the best studio out there keeping physical movies alive. I recently watched their 4k blu rays for underworld and they are amazing. $60 for 5 4k movies with amazing transfers and dolby atmos. Hopefully Sony puts out more stuff from these studios they are working with. I'm tired if Scream Factory doing 4k for studios. $40 for one release is absurd and they are not even packaged with a booklet or hard case like arrow video.

Well yet another retailer has dumped physical media. Dollar General has decided that since their customers aren't buying movies from them, they cut a rack full and the bin usually at the front door down to just a 2 sided spinner vs the four way spinner they used to have. Only had a few DVD only selections and no Blu-rays. These were my "go to place" where I've found many 3D selections along with various movies and TV series. I've even found selections that are out of print with some not even sold on amazon or ebay at a premium. I hope Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stays in the game as these are also places where you can score big if you're knowledgeable on motion pictures.

Well first of all, I’m not going to call them “companies”. I can’t feel bad that people printing illegal copies and making profits off other people’s art might be stuck. Second, there are so many BD-Rs available from other brands. There are literally millions already available. They’re going to be fine.

@DangerousDevilOfficial Ай бұрын

@@JeffRauseo they aren't the main companies or people using them. I use them for my own music and film releases on small scale. Obviously there are other brands. And some of the smaller scale media companies out there actually release their Blu Rays on BD-R. Some of the more boutique labels have released at least a couple dozen movies that I know of, on BD-r even when released in physical stores. I have a good dozen of these official release titles in my collection. Where the movies came on BD-r in official releases. But Sony was one of the higher quality brands. So it does leave a bit of void in the market. Nevertheless, there are other companies. But you and I have digressed on bootleg copies before. I have been pretty frank about it. If my art were out of print, or I never made physical media of my stuff and somebody else appreciated the art enough they made copies, then that isn't going to bother me. Those people aren't losing any money on the art, when the traditional channels aren't ever going to release them on physical media anyway. So that will continue to be a topic with two camps of thought into the future I believe.

It's still troublesome. Yay movie studios, but what people forget about when they scoff at blank optical media is the advantages. All people remember about burning discs is they had 500 MB of data and they had to burn it for twenty minutes, it cost them two bucks and then the disc was pretty much useless after they had brought their files to their friend's house for copying. When USB sticks increased in capacity, of course burned discs became obsolete and clumsy. But they are not useful as a transferring device. Instead, they are excellent for ARCHIVAL purposes. Bluray discs last much better than CD-R or DVD-R and unlike any SSD, HDD, memory card or USB stick, optical media is read-only. No matter how dangerous the computer, your data remains untouched.
