Why don't you use Blu-ray?

I do when I can, but sometimes it's easier to just spend a few shekels for a hard to find movie. When I said "own it," I was more-so referring to having an actual physical copy.

I actually started collecting blurays just recently, hitting up pawn stores and discount bins for good finds. Its actually bretty fun, gives me a chill errand to do on Saturdays (visit a part of the city I havent looted yet)

I torrent fuckin everything, but I started noticing how the picture quality is shit despite being 1080p rips. Didnt take long to discover metrics like bitrate and audio formats. So for all my favorite eye-candy movies, Imma start collectin em.

just download it for free man

wtf is wrong with you? are you a hoarder?

try installing Windows 10 using a DVD, and do the same using the cheapest USB stick you could possibly buy

that's the reason

>not pirating 100% of your media

CDs never killed video tape unless you lived in SEA.

DVDs on the other hand

The pic is some shitty grocery store. I saved it cause it looks offputting and aesthetic at the same time

I dont watch blue rays because I dont want to kill another xbox/playstation they are expensive

i been burning discs for like almost 20 years. i have 5 300 cd books full almost
i got a bluray player like 2 years ago, well starting 3 years ago but the cheap son of a bitch i broke it myself. but most shit is shit to burn anyway. i wen tthru 2 300 cd books within 9 months when i first started, then it slowed teh fuck down.

It comes down to opportunity cost, time is money. If a movie is easy to find online, I'll just download it. It's not worth spending more than 20-30 min searching for a download link.

no I mean why are you collecting plastic trash in your home?

Bluray still has its uses, as an offline archive, since each disk could hold 25/50 GB, and they can be stored inside a nice binder

bullshit, just improve your google-fu

I watch a lot of sci fi that costs $300+ to buy a single series so personally i dont have much of a choice
id still like to buy all my favorites one day though

Most of Blu-ray releases have online DRM on them m8, you don't own shit except for a shiny plastic disc.

>using jewgle
Not even once

Nice tech blog post faggot

Picture quality. I gotten pretty snobby, hate seeing signs of compression.

I wouldnt consider myself one yet, but its sorta like how particular audiophiles are. Im starting to trend toward autism.

Why would I?
>entertainment
Lol torrents
>moving large files
I'd rather use something reusable and universal, like a flashdrive.

Idk why dont you use Jow Forums?

>dedicating an entire wall of your house to something you can store on a nas
ishygddt

you know what I mean, learn how to use search engines to find your content.
improve that ability.

just download the touchless version then.
no compression there.

use nas and minidlna.

Cloud killed local storage.

The audio quality is an even bigger difference than picture quality when it comes to blu ray. DTS-HD master audio is second to none.

>having a physical copy of anything
>ever
Because boomers are dying off.

then just download the entire fucking bluray.
no compression there, still DTS HD and its FREE.
no excuses you lazy Jew funding niggers.

>not just pirating everything

Cloud is a meme. You're not storing dozens of terebytes on someone elses servers with NO backup and paying the ridiculous bandwitch fees and dealing with speed restrictions.

If you have so little data that "muh cloud" is an option then you have no business not just using a micro sd card.

80+% of the time I do exactly that.

It's data dense, but has slow access time. It's miserable to pull something off the back half of a 50gb blu-ray. It's part of the reason modern consoles do game installs, reading from the disc became to slow to live read the data.

What is the longevity in cold storage?

Good luck finding such torrents for everything you want to watch. If such exists, you still need luck for it to still be seeded. And even then, good luck waiting several dozen hours to days for you to torrent 50gb on a sluggish download connection.

Like I said, Im fine going out a couple times a month and putting $1-4/disk of used blurays of particular movies Im wanting to collect. 98% of my movie collection will still be run of the mill 1-3gb BR rips stored on my computer

if you use mdisk something like 1k years they claim, they don't have a dye layer in them.

Mainly because Blue-Rays promise to do something most 5k$ korean home theaters still struggle to delivery, both in terms of color depth, framerate, scaling and all the audio output. By this I mean that the fanciest Samsung manyK-fullshit-30.1dobbysurroubd is not technically capable of reproducing a DVD-HD in its native quality. Let alone a BD.
Also, passed a certain point the human eye is not able to spot the difference unless the distance is very short.
From 3 meters you can't spot the difference between a real HD-read 720p and a real Full-HD 1080p unless you have an 80" screen. And that's a matter of physics, not subjective taste and sensibility.

Dude, new releases are tuesdays and you find them that night like clock work. I use a calendar to see what's coming up and tick the boxes for the ones I want.. 8tb HD is 130USD on sale.

Oh, that's better than I thought. Seems OK then user. Also color coded binders would be cozy.

They’re essentially over priced DVDs, I use my Blu-ray player for watching shit on my external hard drive mostly.

Wouldn't be tape a better choice for long term cold storage? I use 1TB WD Red drives in raid for hot backup and tapes for weekly/montly cold backup.

>Cloud
This is so󠠭y faggot nomenclature. It's a fucking server.

Literally type the movie name followed by 'putlocker'
Jesus you fucking boomers are helpless.
>buying a physical copy of a movie
LMAO

I imagine so, lots of people claim the same. Was also a big part of my decision to collect. Future proofing for when I will have a non-meme 7.1

this

imagine supporting the industry that is actively brainwashing people for an agenda.

I pirate everything and I hope hollywood dies in a fire.

>brr but then it would not be new content anymore

I dont give a shit, theres still a huge amount of old content I haven't seen.

>Why don't you use Blu-ray?
My TV only has s-video & composite inputs.

Livin' in the golden age of internet.

Will pirated movies be a thing of the past years from now? Anyone know?

Just don't connect to the internet. Also, the supermajority of Blu-ray discs include pretty high-quality DVD versions, and DVD definitely does not require an internet connection.

never ran into any troubles in all the time. I literally never bought a movie, every movie I ever wanted to see I managed to download for free.

Idc, my favorite movies I still watch on VHS, got all the classics m8

most people aren't hifiphiles and the quality of HD streaming is well above the limits any normal consumers would care about, also streaming interfaces and being able to access anything without having to locate a faggot ass disc is way more convenient.

anything that is magnetic scares the living shit out of me. I normally compliment my bluray backups with cheap 1 TB HDD.

the also benefit of 25 GB disks is that you can make "small backups". Don't need to waste a whole tape on it.

Welp, good for you

Cant even play them for free on my PC with a blu gay drive. Have to use Leawo player o pay up. Fuck DRM.

>Just don't connect to the internet.
and don't watch your movie that you "own"

they area always trying to restrict it, but they'll never kill the sneaker net.
The only difference is people who share in the future will make a profit selling physical copies on the sneaker net. No matter what they try to do, security will be bypassed even if people have to use a camcorder pointed at the tv screen to make copies.

You don't need to purchase a movie to have a physical copy. I guess "digital copy" is a more precise term for it, I just meant not streaming from jewflix or something like that.

Unless you have an very expensive media system and even if it must be a non meme one, you can't spot the difference between a DVD-HD and a Blu-Ray.
And if your screen is lesser than 60" or the film is pre-2005, you will find 576i to be rendered even better than so-called HD.

DVDs are good enough for the average consumer.

Most people sit too far away to see a difference between SD and HD, let alone 4K. They buy a small TV, put it on one side of the living room, and put the sofa on the other end. DVD got rid of the bulky tapes. Streaming made everything more accessible. Blu-ray solved nothing.

you do not need internet connection to watch bluray.

I pirate everything and if its good art i buy it (rare). I dont give jews money like a nigger in a 90s blockbuster.

The last movies i paid money to own a physical copy of were true detective season 2, last of the mohicans, and the newer bladerunner.

I dont like giving money to find out later i funded trash propaganda.

It was not an impressively large enough step up from DVD's when flash storage was obviously growing faster and faster, without need to change hardware as well.

Blu-ray huh? What about Holographic Versatile Disc or HVD instead.

I agree, bootlegging will always be a thing.

Im thinking more along the hamfisted thinking of "As society progresses and get ever interconnected with internet, will the inevitable increased government regulation ever stop the pirate gravytrain"

>what went wrong
Cheap flash memory, USB 2.0 (in 2000) then 3.0 (in 2006). I haven't used optical media since the early 2000's, it's been legacy shit for at least a decade now. Not to mention you actually have to take care with a disc, not just chuck in your pocket or throw it on you desk.

>a physical copy of were true detective season 2
wtf is wrong with you? are you bullied mentally handicapped or both?

You can easily see the difference though. But yeah, boomers don't care.

>Blu-ray solved nothing.
Are you deaf by chance?

steaming is gay

Remember that sage grows in all fields

the only bluray i own is Barb Wire and it didnt include the extended dance scene.
#neveragain

Streaming came in before blue ray could and killed them all

If you post on Jow Forums, you're not the average consumer.

I for sure can see the difference. Dark colors are a easy giveaway. Next, youre probably going to say that human eyes cant discern past 30 fps

No. Everytime they try to crack down on it it becomes more decentralized and prolific.

They've given up trying to end actual piracy and are moving to subscription based services.

Torrent QxR group releases only. They offer the highest bluray bitrate conversions. Movies around 5+gig filesize, fantastic audio and video quality

>t. fellow pirate hoarder

It was good. Cali is a shithole and it didnt pull punches on the commie jews or wetbacks.

You are a plebian nigger.

Danke user

it was mediocre

>Torrent QxR group releases only
There are a lot of good torrent rippers out there. But, yeah most 5 to 6+GB rips are perfect quality on my 60" LG TV or my 42" monitor with full surround.
t. spend my money on a hard drive server tower to store my 10TB movie collection all torrented and not retarded optical disks with fancy packaging.

A10v10 thanks yify!
