      If you really want to secure yourself from that you can download the movie/series.

    I prefer physical for a couple of reasons.. The main one is conductibility, but also the fact that some movies are either near-impossible to find on streaming services, and even when they are, they risk being pulled any given day. There are services to buy digital movies like Vudu, but those are usually right at or more expensive than you can get the Blu-Ray from a service like eBay. And often times the quality is actually better on the Blu-Ray, not to mention the special features that you can rarely get digitally. The good news is that collectors like us are keeping the hobby alive, so I see physical releases continuing into the near future, even if they slow down a bit. Heck, Vinyls are even becoming popular again.

      computerkid1416 Physical media are probably becoming the new laserdisc.
      -Prices for each title will go up to, but at least have more content.
      -Players will become more expensive.
      -Covers will become more than just your standard little casing. They'll be boxsets, designed with distinctive each time.
      And eventually production of physical media will cease to exist.

    While you have a valid point about waiting for physical media to load, depending on your streaming player, you've still got to go through three menus to get to Netflix (or whatever streaming service), wait for the Netflix icons to load, and then wait for it to load to start playing. And if the connection is slow, it's going to pause in the middle of the movie anyway. Barf.

    Very interesting video. I think downloads / streaming will become a standard in the future. The only thing that isn’t clear to me is: What service will it be? After VHS was over and out, it was replaced by dvd and later Blu ray. That’s easy. One standard supported by all brands. But what will the future of streaming / downloads look like? Will it be iTunes? Will it be Netflix? UA-cam? Nobody can tell me wich direction it goes.
    I started collecting movies on iTunes, but it doesn’t work anymore on older hardware. I don’t watch enough movies to subscribe to a streaming service and have no idea what I have to choose after dvd.

    Streaming media feels far less personal and far more disposable to me.
    I’m of the opinion that if I spend money on a film (or music) I’m going to ensure I consume the media. With Netflix and Spotify, everything is more disposable.
    Not instantly into the album you’re listening to? Fine - you didn’t pay for it, only the monthly subscription. Find something else, you might enjoy it more.
    And that to me is the biggest issue with streaming media I personally have. There is no monetary outlay on the media people watch now apart from the subscription, so everything is far more disposable as opposed to the days when we went out and picked a single movie from Blockbusters on a Friday night, or when we went into the local HMV and brought an album.
    We knew we had invested time and money into our media consumption, so to dismiss the music and films we consumed then had more a financial repercussion. And because of that, it meant we were more invested instead of having a niggling feeling at the back of our head that we can click off and find something else immediately.

    In my opinion here's pros and cons on digital and physical.
    Pros on digital.
    You can get it right away instead of waiting for it to be shipped to you or picking it up in a store.
    Not worry about scratches or losing it.
    Cons on digital
    If your wifi is slow it will be buffering or just loading all the time.
    If your wifi is down you won't be able to watch it.
    Pros on physical media
    You could own it.
    You don't have to worry about internet problems or buffering.
    Cons on physical media
    You can scratch it by watching the movie or show many times.
    You can lose it.
    You can run out of storage on shelves.
    Your DVD/ Blu Ray player can mess up.

    Awesome video. I started collecting dvds when they 1st started coming out and have about 1,000, then what ya know bluray was introduced! So I felt like I needed to replace my dvds with bluray. So now I have a crap load of both, duplicate copies of a bunch of them and guess what 4k dvds have been introduced! WTF! I'm done and now I just use VUDU. Been buying from them for a couple of years and it's pretty great. Also it's helping keep the peace with my wife who just loves shelves and shelves of movies all over the living room and spare rooms. Streaming is definitely the future but I will hang onto my physical movies and pass them down like my dad did with his VHS. Lol 😂

    Streaming is more convenient, but I personally love having physical things that I can hold in my hand, also it doesn't feel like you actually own something unless you can hold it in your hand and do whatever you want with it, I also might be the only person who doesn't mind weird packaging.

    What I miss most is good TV channels and their movie shows. PBS and especially TVO here in Ontario had a great midnight show called Saturday Night At The Movies. They would show classics to modern foreign films, and would prologue them with interesting trivia, why they're unique, controversy it created, etc. So it was like going to a friends house that's really into movies and learning. Not that I liked all the movies shown, but I appreciated them for their inventiveness and joy they may give to others. With Netflix and all now, there's nothing to preface the movie other than the selling synopsis of Action, Comedy, Drama, etc. and a brief plot at best. Thankfully for YT and folks like you Niki, I get a more in depth look at what I may find interesting and/or what to avoid. The packaging is getting insane too, I agree. I miss the DVD's with a little chapter card or pamphlet inside a easy to open clam shell case. Then this crappy cardboard casing and reduced plastic method to presumably reduce excess and weight for shipping and stocking. But actually doubling the impact with DVD's, Blu-Ray, and 4k all being delivered at once now. I will give kudos to "premium blu-rays" from Korea et al. They really put effort into their releases, be they classics like 2001, or sleepers like Her. Proud to own and display those. But honestly, YT here is my starting point. If you or others recommend a movie, I may check out the trailer here or on IMDB. If I think it maybe interesting to sit down with, I'll either borrow it from the library, or buy a cheap DVD of it on Amazon or 2nd hand. And if I really love the movie after, I'll try and score a premium BD or Criterion DVD of it and turn in the DVD to a store or a friend. Not at all intrigued by Netflix really, other than Bong Joon Ho. And yes, I got Okja on DVD now too. Don't ask me how, but it's out there. :)

      While Blu Ray and 4k Blu Ray are almost identical...DVD and Blu Ray are miles apart. I had a huge DVD collection and once I saw Blu Ray magic I couldn't go back to DVD. I Started my collection over. Blu Ray will probably be the best and last format I own/collect. 4k Blu Ray isn't worth it. But I am glad 4k Blu Ray came out because now standard Blu Ray is CHEAPER!!! YES!!! I got movies like Wonder woman and Kong skull island and so on...on Black Friday for $5.99, yes!!!! And those movies on Sony 55' xbr900e upscaled looked amazing!!! Bt 20/20 color spectrum, with professional calibration, and a triluminous display make Blu Ray look just as good as 4k movies!!!! Yes!!! Screw Netflix... It will never produce this type of picture and sound quality!!!! Yes!!! Blu Ray forever!!!

    I think the best way is to diversify. Most of the time I buy blu rays with digital copies included. But if the price is right I might buy a digital copy or physical on their own.

    physical media is not dying. Actually this era is the greatest era when it comes to physical media. You can purchase a film in 4k and get a digital copy, blu ray copy, and 4k copy. That's 3 versions of the same movie. That's insane. And it will pretty much last your entire life unless you lose the movies and lose access to whatever app you have the digital movie installed under. It has been 2 years since I started collecting movies and it feels like the 80s and 90s all over again. Collecting my favorite movies and watching them. It feels like i'm watching them for the first time. Cause now i'm noticing stuff in the movies I did not notice on vhs or dvd on a crt tv. Anyone who says physical media is dying don't know what their talking about. In the next couple of months The Running Man, Twin Peaks, Twins, Big Trouble in Little China, Back to the Future, and Beverly Hills Cop Trilogy will all be coming to blu ray or 4k steelbook. And I will be buying all of them. Maybe physical media is dying for new movies. Because 90 % of the films are mediocre and are not worth buying physical copies. How many superhero movies can a person possibly watch b4 getting burned out. Do u guys think 40 years from now. Their will be a large library of movies that would be worth going back to watch like how we do with the terminator, back to the future, die hard, the predator and etc. Movies in todays era do not hold their value.

  • @frankvee
    @frankvee 4 роки тому +1

    I agree with you about the tedious nature of blu rays, and definitely agree the menus are often times stupid in that they spoil the movie by showing key scenes. Who thought that was a good idea? But I will always choose physical media and support it 100%. Digital may take over at some point in time but while physical media exists I will continue to support it.
