- A video where I explain how I acquired so many DVD's for cheap, and how I think they're better than streaming services. I explain the pros and cons of DVD collecting in 2022.
People just get rid of em for nothing but honestly I love my DVD collection! Having almost all Seinfelds is a blessing! 🙌
Best way to enjoy a DVD today, a good 1080p DLP projector, a high end bluray player with top upscaling capabilities and DVD offer perfect image and sound quality, close to bluray.
Pirating to hard drives on a media server is the best of both worlds. I have over 6,500 movies and over 1,600 TV series on my media server. I don't need to devote a room to my collection, deal with dusting, organizing, inventorying have the risk of damage from flood, fire, etc. or god forbid if I move, having to move my collection. I don't have to deal with buffering, throttling, content being removed or altered to appease some offended person. If I am sitting comfy in my bed, I can switch between any movie, TV series, music, any games on emulators, CZcams, etc. without getting out of my bed. I backup my entire media server onto 10 5TB 2.5" portable drives that literally fit in the palm of my hands. I started out with DVD rips, then as time permitted, starting with my favs, downloaded and replaced with 1080p. Now I am once again, starting with my favs, replacing my 1080p copies with 4K. There is no downside, at least from where I am sitting, with this method.
I think video up-scaling devices are also useful to have if you wanna play them on modern TVs have them look okay. Even just an older flat screen that isn't 4k will most likely look decent.
DVDs are pretty cool, same with VHS tapes. I've never had a problem with the quality of either of the formats. I'm not a huge "videophile", even 240p bootleg DVDs are good enough as long as they're in 4:3. Anything in 16:9 for me strictly has to be 360p or more though.
As a physical media die hard, dvds taking up space is a pro
I dig it dude! And the streaming service will just get more expensive.
I had heard some stat that people spend close to 300 a month on subscription services. No idea if that's true but I guess when you factor in gaming, music, and movies, everything is a subscription service now.
I still collect blurays but dvds are just as good i would collect dvds a lot more now cause they are gd prices even if they are second hand i just love movies and tv shows blurays are like 15 pound each new as dvd second will cost between 25 pence 50 pence or 2 or 3 pound on wards so dvds are the way to go
I got into it because a few different people gave me giant lots of DVD's for free. I started looking at garage sales and thrift stores after that.

I have just recently started my collection (only a couple months ago) and I got the best deal at a thrift store and I payed 5 dollars for about 10 dvds!
One thing you forgot to mention about DVD versus streaming is that DVD sound better because the sound is uncompressed. As for Blu-ray a standard 1080 P Blu-ray will look and sound better than anything streamed. Even though streaming claims to display the image in 4K it’s not and sound is severely compressed while streaming. Also I’m on another sidenote about playing standard DVDs if you get a good 4K Blu-ray player with upscaling it’s going to do a lot for the image quality well watching on HD TV.
I’ve built up my dvd collection since I was 12 and collected anime.
eBay sells all the greats for dirt cheap I mean they're bootlegs but I don't notice the difference between them and the sd or hd televised versions.. I bought Sailor Moon both the entire series (the original dub and Japanese versions season 5 dub and Japanese) all 4 movies and the live action for like around 120 bucks
@@Cybelecelestethegoddess bootlegs are just as good sometimes
@@Mr.Napalm agreed it's like Christmas every day for anime lovers lol

Best to keep your DVDs in custom drawers. Built some pretty awesome draws that can hold your whole shelve not a problem even have castor wheels to move em around
CRTs are the best way to enjoy DVD in my opinion. Old school TV classics look terrible upscaled on a large panel. Nice vid 👍
