So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

    If you have a DVD player or your desktop and/or laptop has a disc drive (or you got a USB disc drive) you can turn them into CDs if you are feeling retro.

    Or if you happen to have some videos, you can use some DVD authoring software to make a DVD of them. It’s good if you happen to somehow have the episode files for your favorite TV show. ;)

      I haven’t bought a CD in well over a decade but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to think of CDs as retro lol

        Considering there are children out there that don’t know what a CD is because of streaming, I’d assume that DVDs and CDs are old enough to be retro.

        And I only know there are some that don’t know what a CD/DVD is because of r€ddit posts.
