And burning cd/dvd’s is getting more popular due to disappearing content on streaming services. Some shows got removed and are no longer available to watch elsewhere legally. Such a shame.
You should know, depending on the type and quality of the media, that CD/DVDs degrade over time spanning from 5-20 years (very high quality presses/burns can last upward of 50, but you are likely not doing that at home). Probably doesn’t matter for most use-cases, but just so people don’t get the idea that it’s good for long term storage past those rough estimates.
Got annoyed when things started coming and going as early as 2018 and started a Blu-Ray collection. About 80% of it is secondhand. I’ll admit I still have a couple streaming services, but all the stuff I know I like is readily and consistently available now.

I took a class on DVD creation back in the day, how to write the menus and link tracks and whatnot.
Time to shake off the ‘ol bootleg machine.
That class sounds fun.
it was cool, it wasn’t JUST on that but we spent a lot of time on that. It was an introductory digital video editing class.
I did one on how to design teletext pages. On a separate and unrelated issue, my joints hurt.
At our age you might wanna switch to edibles over smoking if it’s hurting you ;)
What do you use for burning blu-rays? I’ve recently been getting into it as a hobby.
DVD Studio Pro was legit.
I did the full Final Cut —> Compressor + Motion for menu animations —> DVD Studio Pro then burned a stack of discs and applied labels
Completely unnecessary, but fun
Way easier to write a couple h264 rips in mkv onto one 4.7 GB dvd.

this is how I ended up finding out there are now much better rips available for many of the shows I burned to DVD in the mid 2000s
I only rip them for jellyfin
Does this mean the case of 5.25" DVD burners I have will be worth something again?

Ssd’s and thumb drives are soooo much easier though Get jellyfin to serve it to your tv
I also use jellyfin. Most of my movies are digital copies.
If it hasn’t happened already, Netflix is dropping the new She-Ra show from their service, and they’ve never released a physical form.
Therefore, it is illegal to watch She-Ra.
I believe a hard drive is cheaper now.
And fails earlier. That’s why I’m thinking of backing up some stuff onto dvds again.
