How long til Blu-rays get phased out (self.asklemmy)

Basically just the title. With DVDs getting tossed to the wind it made me wonder when will blu-rays go? I'm gonna miss bloopers and extra scenes

Edit: A bit confused but the general consensus is that in some areas BRs have already began to be phased out while in others they're just trucking along perfectly fine. It'll be that way until they stop being profitable to the studios who make them. Is that correct? I don't think the 8k argument is valid imo since that's really niche currently.

Which blu rays?

Is it even possible to stream 8k video now?

[–] blindsight@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

I've only seen 4K REMUX streaming as the top quality option, but there's no reason why 8K streaming would be impossible. You could even set it up privately with Jellyfin.

Disney has already killed theirs off in Australia. But at the same time most of their stuff is rubbish so I guess I'm not missing out on anything

I don't want blu-rays, I want DVD. Less anti-consumer stuff going on there (although not for lack of trying, just a bit less technical know-how at the time it was made).

I don’t want blu-rays, I want DVD

HD-DVDs were neat. More reliable, too.

Till the next upkeep phase

Well it'll probably go to insert one of a dozen streaming providers in an extras section for a limited time and then only be available on one of many piracy sites

They already do this, so probably just more of it.

VHS tapes are still popular in my region funny enough.
