What are DVDs useful for these days? (serious question)
I still watch DVDs occasionally.
Hmm, the format is 26 years old. Maybe time to let it rest.
Why? The wife has hundreds of DVDs.
@Mondorock: I don't know what your point is. Blu-ray is better, but we're not going to ditch hundreds of DVDs and replace them with Blu-ray.
@Mondorock: So OP should spend hours of time and over a thousand dollars (most likely) just to get slightly better quality versions of something he already has perfectly functional copies of?
@Salzberger: *significantly better. You're right but don't minimise the fact bluray is far superior to regular old DVD.
@sickaunt: Blu-ray transfer quality can be very hit or miss. Some of my Blu-rays look far worse than the DVDs I already owned. They were a downgrade and complete waste of money, some unwatchable compared to their DVD counterparts.
I collect lots of obscure Hong Kong, Chinese, Thai and Japanese movies and the DVDs often had a lot of care put into their creation including multiple languages, multiple subtitles, commentary tracks, extra features and mini-documentaries, cinema and extended versions etc. Some of the Blu-ray transfers you wrongly claim are "far superior" have horrible English dubs without the original language, no subtitles or poorly made subtitles or occasionally multiple burned-in subtitles, the wrong aspect ratio, no extra features and were clearly made from very poor source material.
Some 'remastered' Blu-rays I wasted money on were re-colour-graded by colourblind people who think slapping a blue/orange or green filter over everything makes things look more 'cinematic' which destroys the original bright vivid colours. Some have noticeable encoding artifacts and poorly applied smoothing or sharpening masks.
Sometimes directors mess with the Blu-ray so you end up with a botched Muppet version of Star Wars when we all know Han shot first on the VHS and Limited Edition DVD.
Here's a quick list of poor quality Blu-rays with good reasons to avoid, but plenty more bad Blu-rays exist:
https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/02/09/top-25-worst-blu-ray…@greenie4242: You're talking niche use case, so that's valid for you scenario. 1080p resolution takes a massive squirt of arse milk over 480p/576p though, and that's what I'm referring to and pretty much the reality for 99% of people. I'm always interested in learning more though… is there any sort of list online that definitively states which movies have superior DVD transfers vs BD?
@sickaunt: A useful website reviewing different Blu-ray releases is:
My use of DVDs is not a niche case considering millions of people around Asia have been sharing VCDs and DVDs for two decades. You're pulling fake 99% statistics from your imagination. Most people who watch the latest K-dramas or Lakorns don't care about the quality of the picture as long as the story is okay and they can select the correct audio and/or subtitles for their region.
Most content doesn't even benefit from 1080p or 4k. Who cares if a courtroom drama or a romantic comedy has a clearer picture? If the story is good and the visuals aren't important, picture quality is irrelevant.
People who collected hundreds of DVDs over the years and enjoy watching DVD extra content have been extremely disappointed by the lack of good extra content on Blu-ray releases. Often it's just the movie, nothing else.
My Fifth Element VHS tape and DVD both included a half-hour Making Of documentary which is absolutely incredible to watch. It describes how the prop masters designed and made the costumes and weapons and city models. The Blu-ray didn't include it. Yet I was lied to by people like you who tell me Blu-ray is better in every conceivable way.
My Under Siege Blu-ray had encoding artifacts and the film grain flickered because the wrong type of post-processing algorithms were applied. Almost unwatchable. I later discovered the Blu-ray was from a poorly upscaled MPEG-2 source with only slightly higher resolution than the DVD. The DVD also had extras that weren't included in the Blu-ray.
@greenie4242: Mate, you say it's not niche, then you start talking about some DVD extras and stuff. You even wrote yourself 'obscure' in a previous tweet. Then you go into fine grain detail about specific releases and some very minor errors that noone but an enthusiast would care about.
Can't wait til you shoot yourself in the foot again with your next comment. Yeah you know some things about bluray transfer, but holy heck I dunno why tf you wanna die on the hill arguing that bluray is not significantly superior to DVD Add to that the only way you've been able to support your argument, is with niche use cases that don't apply to the vast majority of content that was released on both DVD and bluray.
@Mondorock: After all, 1k is just a fraction of the cost that those DVDs must have cost in the first place and who says you have to upgrade them all at once? You can do a few each year.
@Mondorock: It's over 600 movies and TV series. Many are series with multiple DVDs in the case, so the total number would be much higher than 600. So even at $5 a disc, it would be over $3,000.
Like some others, I have hundreds of DVD movies and on occasion pull one out. I own zero Bluerays so don't feel let down with DVD quality. They look great on my 13 year old Panasonic Plasma TV, so for me a case of not fixing what's not broken. :-)
physical copy, cannot be tampered/altered in anyway
Makybe Diva was better.
Makybe DVD?

Is the licence applied automatically. If not can you tell me how to apply it. Thanks
Hi, the code is not applied automatically.
The registration UI will show once you launch the program.
You can copy the code from email, then enter to the empty place of "License Code", and click "Activate".I didn’t get that UI. It says it is a licensed copy for Version 3.9.8.
I removed the licence and then applied my key.
"The giveaway version doesn't support decrypting the latest encryption tech in commercial DVD."
Hmmmm…
Yes. Just got my email. Think I'll delete it.
I think that will only affect a minority of DVDs, so it probably won't be an issue.
