4K is expensive and niche. had to saturate eventually.
>>524390506I could simply purchase the media I wish to own?
>>524390506I could also just run my own Plex
>>524390506I’ve already gone back to pirating and running plex on raid2
I will never be comfortable without physical media. I will never be comfortable with only online access to everything.
>>524390862what exactly is a plex?
>>524390506Im just going to get physical media until I can't, then its pirating for me
>>524390506Soon we will all own nothing and we WILL be happy.
>>524390506I joined a plan where I purchase my first 11 blu rays for only a penny after that I only have to purchase 6 more blu rays at regular club prices within the next 3 years
>>524390506>want to buy 4k blu ray for old movie>it's 70 freaking dollars>has special features and a poster but still 70 dollars for one movie in a "collectable box"no thanks. i want it because i like the movie but i dont even have a 4k setup which probably runs you at least 1000
>>524390506They could release a proper 4K scan instead of painting it blue every time, or green in the case of The Matrix.Fuck them. I'm glad they're going out of business!
>>524390506The last piece of physical media I ever bought was GTA 5 bundled with my PS4. Feels like that was forever ago.
I don't watch TV or movies. Haven't for over 20+ years. I assume most of this is from the Netflix crowd, but there are a large number of us who just don't like modern story tellers lack of skill.
what fucking movie from the last 20 years do you even really want to own?
Elon say it good
>>524390599>Buy $60 drive. >Rip all the 4K blu-rays you want.
>>524391828I bought both new Dune movies three times.
>>524391341TV / FILMS HOSTING. But you can only see the films you uploded or friends' uploaded.
>>524391828inglorious basterds
>>524390506Why would I want oversized disks? We have 2020. Everything can be put on a Flash ROM drive nowadays.
Just download the movie and burn it on a blu-ray if you really want it on a disc
>>524390506your opinion is irrelevant, poojeet. get back to us when you figure out how to poo in the loo
>>524390506>rewritable up to 10000 times>last up to 1000 yearsI think if you get some of them your grandkids don't need to get more
I only buy DVD's when I can get them in bulk from garage sales for 50 cents, I hope to get a couple hundred more next year.Same with books.Physical media is THRIVING if you just go out and buy what people don't want anymore.
I refuse to give the kikes money. If somehow piracy dies, then I will just not consume.
>>524391778THIS THIS THIS! why do these faggots assume everyone want to see films with BLUE filter. I asked if they have full color ray version and every fucking store only has BLUE RAY version
>>524392076I buy dead people's stuff. They wanted it enough that they kept it till they dropped.
>>524390506i buy used blurays off amazon for $5 each
>>524390506i havent bought a single movie or tv series in my entire 30 years on earth
>>524390506I got a tube tv with a built in vhs player at the thrift store. shit’s kino.
>>524390599How is 4k expensive and niche you dumb faggot. I've been watching movies/youtube and playing games at 4k with HDR for ages.
>>524390506Old article from 2024.Im a physical media anon, I have hundreds of 4k disks. A lot of them funded by selling my old anime DVDs.4k is still doing OK.Physical media copers who believe in buying bluray are really the issue, you buy 4k to save space and ensure quality and you pirate 1080 there is no real reason to buy 1080 just make sure its not too compressed of a release. If there isn't a home hardware Apocalypse 4k will be convenient to pirate in a few years in which case really we should demand lower prices. Also pirate 4K that are only available in steelbook or worse some 100 dollar special box set. (Aka Sony)
>>524392367good lord it's polish. the subject is 4k bluray discs, not youtube and video games.
>>524390506Good morning saar
>>524392169True, I do this too. A much better way to get clothing in particular, open up a closet and there's 1,000 dollars in clothes right there.
I’m just buying proven old tech that has a long life. Buying old 5400rpm hdd and storing my favorite movies and porn in a raid with copies hidden in my backyard underground bunker in case of emp.
>>524390506>sell all your dataNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not my data!!!! How will I go through life knowing that some company sold some advertiser a billion lines of cookies telling them that me, user 257295b27592bsdjw looked at a funny cat video for 3.5 seconds yesterday?!?! Is nothing sacred!!! I haven't used the internet since 2009 and I am OUTRAGED about this shocking new revelation
The 4K release of Lord of the Rings was atrocious. >turned down the color>used digital noise reduction to make everything look super smooth
>worst shows of all fucking time released>No one is buying DVD’s. It’s fucking over. We need to cancel all media
>>524390506Blu-Ray is too expensive to be a viable format, at most a new blu ray should cost $10 for a new release, older movies should be around $5, production cost for these things is minimal and almost all of the cost is just various licensing and profit sharing deals. Expecting $29.99 for Moana 2 is fucking retarded.
come take it from me
>>524391047This. Until you discover some kind of physical media that can survive the apocalypse and be playable 200 years in the future, it's a waste of time. Digital media, backup copies, self-hosted solutions. This is where it's at.
>>524390506Criterion needs to make more box sets. Fellini and Bergman aren’t enough.
>>524390506Pirate and run a Jellyfin server at your house. Problem solved.
>>524390862Plex sells your data too. Use Jellyfin.
>>524390506The market has been trending towards boutique distributors like Arrow Video and Vinegar Syndrome for many years now. The problem is they release mostly dog shit movies. Even the 'good movies' they release are usually subpar. Like the Teenage Mutant Ninja boxset. Oh boy! Now I can spend $100.00 to watch three children's movies made in the 1990's on 4k blu-ray. Or I could just buy the boxset in standard blu-ray that was already out for $10.00. Their pricing is all fucked up which is also leading to a decline in sales.
>>524393630Lol. If you think that's all it is you're a fucking retard.
>>524391341Plex is awesome, bought a lifetime subscription about 15 years ago. You put your movies on a computer at home and can access them anywhere from any device. It's like your own personal netflix
>>524390506They wanted like 40 bucks a disk.
>>524390862>paying to host pirated shitThe mental gymnastics here.
>>524390506They are dying on the shelf.I am more worried because of the lack of HDD (mechanical) factoring.Memory cell storages are not the best idea to the family albums.
>>524393790I can smell it
>>524394283>family albumsimagine, having parasites
I know we have attachment to film and television but all it has ever been is Jewish brainwashing. Rip the bandaid off and leave the slop to the cattle.
You vill own nuzzink.
>>524390506I encode all my pornography in hole punch cards in a file cabinet. I reassemble the images bit by bit whenever I want a cheeky wank
>>524393790this is how i archive /pol/ threads
>>524390506Disc rot makes collecting these pointless anyway... remember, everything is low-quality to make jews as much profit as possible.
>>524392277nice. i've been looking for one to hook up my Wii to but none of the thrift stores by me sell them anymore sadly
>>524391734Fuck, I did that...twice.
>>524394585Imagine living and dying all alone with no legacy at all.
>paying for media
>>524390506Piracy
>>524391798>The last piece of physical media I ever bought was GTA 5 bundled with my PS4. Feels like that was forever ago.It's crazy during the ps4 era everyone lost their mind over Microsoft wanting to make a disk-less console now downloading is the preferred method of purchasing
>>524390506Sony's disk laser is still used in stuff like iPhone front camera, Seagate's HDD HAMR, LiDAR for cars. You can find remnants there.
>>524390506It's actually crazy how Blu-ray never beat DVDs in market-share. I think because the difference isn't that big.
>>524397199Moreso the rise of streaming services.
>>524397270That too but Blu-rays had a lot of time to catch up to DVDs. Like from 2006 to somewhere in the early 2010s. The format never did.
>>524390506na its going to be like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IEvuTEm9ew
>>524392063Costa Rica has the same population as norway and denmarkWhat did Costa Rica invent and discover again?SHUT UP YOU DIRTY BEANER SPIC
>>524397195iPhone camera uses TDK's magnetic sensor, you can trace its roots to TDK's cassette tape. These legacy tech (Sony's CD, TDK's cassette tape) still survive somewhere changing their forms.
>>524390506will the kind sirs at moser baer save us?
Oh yeah I do miss (((physical))) media so much
>>524391871>Rip all the 4K blu-rays you want.It is faster to download the AV1 rip already done, than to do it by yourself.
>>524390599I wonder why it never became usable. It's been almost 15 years since 4k came out
>>524398573It was greed from the beginning that killed it. How much can we make off boomers by selling them The Godfather again? We'll make them buy a new player and TV as well. Again, it sold, but to a limited market that buys multiple versions of the same movie. Eventually those boomers finish upgrading or die off.
>>524397199Sony's royalties fucked the medium.HD-DVD should have won. There was less retooling to change production from regular DVD discs and players, and much lower licensing costs. HD-DVD had seen one-dollar-discs and car players almost immediately but the big IP owners couldn't decide. Sure discs only had 15 gigs instead of 25, but it would mean an earlier change to h265, or at least h264 with anime pirate settings.
>>524390506Dirty truth: they're not making any more BR4K PC optical drives, and even if you had one, the only "legal" decoder depends on a feature that Intel removed from its CPUs three generations ago.Good luck ripping them five years from now if you haven't already bought a drive.
>>524390506I don't believe this at all. Gen Z are obsessed with physical media because they hate losing access to things. In the last few years my kid got a CD/record player and has CDs and Vinyl. She also has a Blu-ray/DVD collection and burns her own discs. >>524390599Maybe 15 years ago. Almost everyone I know has 4k at this point. I'm pretty sure every TV on display in Walmart is 4k now.
>>524394151why isn’t it cheap after so many years
over are the days of jews controlling hollywood because they own all of the expensive production equipment AND all of the distribution methods. camera phones, digicams and vintage VHS are all affordably cheap. even lacking skill behind a lens, you can have AI put your words into images. jew-owned theaters no longer have a stranglehold on audiences, as you can upload your film for everyone to see on various video hosting sites and social media. so...what are you waiting for?
>>524390506...So you gonna pay for that internet connection? That electricity? No?Cool, don't mind me unplugging it at will then, physically suppressing any and all attempts at remote control.>Mimimi but we'll make it not work if you do that!As if you ever stood a chance in that arms race, i am literally not required to act to defeat you, sluicing in content i like on hardware i physically exert control over.Such a retardedly degenerated train of thought these "people" follow.
>>524390506Physical media isn't dying. Only optical media.
>>524390599The problem is people don't know what the fuck 4k bluray is or what plays it. Apparently my ps5 can play them but I had absolutely no idea until recently. Sales always gets fucked when you name things bad. It killed xbox by naming shit badly and confusing the public. 4k bluray is in that same boat.
>>524393790Why are your blurays so big?
>>524390506It's because they ask 2-3 times for a 4k blu ray over a regular one. Like I bought Top Gun Maverick recently on Blu Ray. It was 11€. DVD was like 9€ while the 4k Blu Ray was 30€.
>>524390506Corporations are starting to erase everything. This is my Watch later list on Youtube. Information is being gated in all forms. We're going back to the fucking dark ages.
