I was in a car with one of them there blu-ray players, and it turned out there was actually disc in, so we tried to use it. After 15 minutes of unskippable content, we finally got to the start of the film and wanted to select language/subtitles - and it wouldn't let us. 20 mins wasted.
DVDs and BlueRay were crap, we just forgot.
The corpo sold ones were.
The ones you could DIY, on the other hand...
Oh look at Mr rich with his DVD burner. In our house we databurned videos to CDs and we LIKED it
Good old two disc VCDs. Man I miss those days.
I was happy to get a DVD burner though. My best friend and I had Netflix and we’d rip everything that came in the mail. A huge book full of movies and tv shows.
Good times.
We had no phone, no cable, no internet. Most creative time in my life.
Some players/remotes are more helpful than others.
Skip doesn't work? Try menu, fast forward, etc
Man if there was only a convenient program that can be used to make mkv’s from optical media
Is MakeMKV still around?
Very much, yes.
Exactly just like CD's huge, unpractical and fragile.
While you could have mp3's and movie files at about the same time.
I don't understand people's choices sometimes, and now I can't get how everyone pays for this ridiculous Spotify, with it's scummy practices and worse, when you're at some houseparty and the host asks what I want to hear it doesn't have my music since it's not mainstream enough.
Glad I'm old and don't have to deal with this BS where consumers can choose from the same multinational corporate pushed garbage they hear everywhere and nothing else.
And they're OK with it too since it's all they know.
