    I haven’t used a DVD in 10-15 years and never used a BluRay but this is still a little surprising to me. Old non-tech-savvy people need movies too.

      Physical media is still the best quality for those of us that care. I rip it to watch digitally, but I like having the physical backup and option to watch with minimal compression.

        Same. I love my Plex server - I rip all of my physical media audio and video to it and can watch/listen on all of my devices. Music is especially fun on Plex, as it pulls in great bio info for most of the artists, which makes organizing my decent sized music library a fun bit of zen…

      I’ve gone back to Blu-Ray for some things because I no longer trust streaming sites to keep them available.
