More and more people are buying physical DVD/Blu-ray media.
I have been saying for some time, you can't depend on streaming services to keep your favorite shows available.
Same for music.
Oppenheimer's Christoper Nolan encouraged fans to embrace "a version you can buy and own at home and put on a shelf so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you."
Today's topic.... #movies
Only in second place in the last vote
But we all love movies, don't we?

Post your favorite movie
One that you have seen many times
That you like to watch again and again
Or just a movie that holds a special place in your heart for some reason

Pouring one out for Netflix DVDs. Netflix does not get a lot of credit for it, but: they were instrumental in helping the USPS figure out how to get a DVD through a sorting machine without breaking it. Everybody's mail arrives faster because of Netflix.
aggiungete una piccola descrizione dell'oggetto (ad esempio #PC, #CD, #DVD, #Libri), citate la città dove siete (@milano, @roma, @torino, @bologna, @napoli, @palermo ) e chi é interessato se lo verrà a prendere e saremo tutti contenti: non gettiamo nulla e attiviamo una economia circolare del riutilizzo.
Ich möchte #DVDs für die Kinder auf #Jellyfin ziehen. Manche DVDs öffnet VLC unter Linux, andere (aus der gleichen Box) nicht. Die von VLC abgespielten kann ich dann auch rippen.
Bleiben die, die VLC unter Linux nicht öffnet. Gerade unter Windows probiert, da spielen die ab. Handbrake bleibt da aber auch irgendwann beim Überprüfen hängen.
Habt ihr Ideen oder Tipps, was ich noch versuchen kann?
Commands to set up your Debian machine to play DVDs. Should be auto-installed, I think, as this is too complex for the average consumer. Then again, what average consumer has a DVD/CD reader in their machine anymore? #debian#dvd#Linux
I’m realizing that for shows and movies I like to watch again and again, it may be time to get them on DVD once more or for the first time as the streamers/studios/networks may destroy them at any time for a tax write off.
To pull a Zaslav: to show up day after day and keep making things worse.
I now realised that I spent hours of my teenage and uni years learning and experimenting with #DVD authoring, to the point of creating interactive animated experiences, and by the time I reached a time in my life when I could try to make it into a job, the DVD was already dying as a medium. being a #millenial is having a lot of things like that happen to you.
Is there something like #MusicBrainz, but for video? A database of #VHS, #DVD, #BluRay etc. releases with technical information like resolution, codecs, audio & subtitle languages, but also listing playtime, bonus features, and errors (e.g. "broken VFX in the scene at 12:34, fixed by subsequent re-release a year later") and so on?
Incidentally if any fans of original 1989 TV Woman in Black that terrified a generation want to get a Blu ray copy buy it now while you still can. Released by Network who have gone into liquidation. Copies still available via Amazon and elsewhere but once they sell out that's it. This was a stellar horror TV version, and Blu Ray is fab. It's also available on DVD which will also go out of stock once sold. #TV#80sTV#Horror#SusanHill#WomanInBlack#DVD#BluRay#Network#NetworkDVD#NigelKneale
This afternoon I watched the #documentary Hot Type: 150 Years of The Nation (2015), directed by Barbara Kopple, which oddly doesn't have a Wikipedia entry. But you can read about it. It was mostly filmed during the 2012-13 election season so it feels like a historical oddity now. Like, Romney specifically doesn't seem like "the worst" of America, nor does Obama seem like "the best." Our value system has been reoriented. Will The Nation be able to keep pace with that?
Now #watching Suburban Wildlife (2019) directed by Imogen McCluskey. It's an Australian #film about four friends coming of age after college. Specifically about their coming to grips with one of their members moving away.
I have a couple more teed up but I won't tell you what they are until I'm further along. I might end up skipping the last one.
I think that we are less than 5 years away from a major studio stopping all physical releases of their productions. Disney shelving physical media in Australia is just the beginning. The era of media ownership is ending. #dvd#bluray#physicalmedia
Es wird Zeit, sich von den Filmen auf DVD zu trennen und die Silberlinge auf Festplatte zu speichern. Lege die DVD am PC ein und starte den VLC-Player, den Rest erkläre ich Dir.
By removing direct dvdread support, mpv broke DVD ripping for me since it now jumps to the dvd menu after the title I want to rip, producing a garbage output file. I tried alternatives like dvdbackup and handbrake, but both are not usable. The latter crashed at some point.
Seems I do have to write my own code again just to be able to batch rip DVDs on the command line. If that happens, it will be released here:
We're not still buying DVDs, but we have kept our collection of a couple of hundred titles just in case we ever need to take a break from streaming services to save money. And I'm currently watching season 2 of Doctor Who because it isn't on any streaming services I subscribe to.
