Just three weeks ago, 4K UHD was giving DVD a run for its money. Now, it's back to less than 10% of the market share.

Some scientists at CERN didn't like the sad ending.

Not me, but for my older brother, my mom was considering the name Chad.

I wonder how that would have worked out, with the memes and all.

If there was ever a show that deserved the 4K UHD treatment...this is it.

There are many reasons we do not use SD cards/flash memory devices for movies and TV:

• SD cards have extrenely slow read rates compared to optical.
• Optical discs are a much more reliable data storage format than flash memory devices. SD cards and other flash memory devices need to be used every few months, or the electric charge will wear out, causing the data to be unreadable. On the other hand, a professionally-pressed Blu-ray disc can theoretically last 50-100 years.
• SD cards are more expensive to manufacture than optical discs.

Ladies and gentlemen, the savior of physical media!

Seems unlikely. Friends was shot on 35mm film, so it's simply a matter of scanning the film negatives at 4K.

No one told me life was gonna be this way....

"Genetic quirk", you say?

Show

Back in December I spent $550 on a refurbrished home theater projector. After actually thinking things through, I realized that in my current living situation, the whole idea isn't going to work. I went back to watching movies on my TV and sometimes even my monitor.

I still haven't taken the projector out of the plastic wrapping, and I've been contemplating re-selling it on eBay so I can at least get my money back...but I highly doubt that will happen.

I'm surprised that this has so many special features...

Looks like the Star Wars and Marvel Disney+ shows are selling well. Hopefully this will convince the higher-ups at Disney/Sony to release more of their streaming-only content on disc!

The two stores are GameStop and Fred Meyer.

This isn't necessarily a good thing. 4K is growing at the expense of Blu-ray, while DVD is only getting more popular.

Last week, @Eheran@lemmy.world asked about the top selling DVDs. I tried looking, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like they report the numbers for DVDs. The closest I found was the Top Disc Sales, which is the combined sales of DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD. Perhaps that would be a better metric?

Ghibli dubs are usualy outstanding. I didn't get a chance to see it dubbed, though.

I heard Robert Pattinson completely transformed his voice to play the Grey Heron, he's completely unrecognozable.
