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.

    Theoretically you could get it with little to no buffering by writing an analog TV signal to the disk, no?

        Reinvent the wheel? No, it’s time to reinvent outdated media formats!

      Sure – but at what resolution (analog signals have resolution too)? At what framerate? A vinyl should hold about 440MB of data (both sides, normal vinyl), with a read speed of 167 kilobytes per second.

      So actually… that’s less bad than I thought! You could probably get 240p video or better!
