Do you still buy physical media?

[JBaby]

As a little kid I got VHS-tapes of almost every Disney movie there was and more. Every birthday, christmas, etc I asked for movies. (and Lego, but that's offtopic )
When I was in my teens and DVD's took over, I realised how useless the pile of VHS tapes became. The quality sucked and after a while we didn't even have a VHS player anymore.
That's when I realised that physical copies have no added value whatsoever and that I would never make that mistake again. I only buy digital (PlayStation 4 games, iTunes Movies, ...) or stream (Netflix, Apple Music and Play (service from my Belgian cable provider with HBO series and stuff))

I had every Disney movie as a kid too. I watched The Lion King every Saturday for a year. It drove my sister crazy! She’s 9 years older. Those tapes collected dust after the VCR died. We even bought one of those combo VCR/DVD players and we still didn’t watch the tapes we had.

Based on the movies I've priced or purchased in the past few months, the average price of a 4K disc is about $20-30,

If you are patient in the U.S. many 4K's at some point drop into the $9-$15 range.

Hunger games is $10 now:

I've been buying a lot of "physical media" lately like this lightsaber and blaster!

 

[Kurri]

I went 100% digital and sold all my dvds / Blu-ray’s about a year ago. I love having everything in one and also going on vacations and taking the Apple TV with me so we can watch a movie at night. Just so convenient. I do miss some of the special edition films that have cool cases or items with them, but I don’t need it (that is what I tell myself).

 

[Robnsn2015]

I have not used my Blu-Ray player in 6 months. Although my work schedule has a lot to do with that, so does the fact that.

Now that the Criterion Channel is up and running, I probably won't be buying physical media except for very special situations.

That being said, I think that people should buy physical copies if long-term ownership is important to them. As the shutdown of Microsoft's eBooks store demonstrates, you don't really OWN, intangible content.

Always do what’s necessary to “backup” your purchases so you own them. I learned that years ago when eReader and Fictionwise shutdown. Also, when Mobipocket got bought by Amazon they shutdown the authorization servers. I still have access to all but seven ebooks I’ve bought since 1999. The seven I don’t have access to are the Mobipocket books.

I have a pretty large collection of DVD's, Blu-rays, and now 4K Blu-rays (about 400 4k disc alone). Streaming quality keeps getting better and better and, for the first time, I am strongly considering dumping my entire collection. Some recent movies I have streamed that have been fantastic are Spiderman into the spider verse and Aquaman. They are 90% their physical media counterpart in the audio/video department. I am the type that buys the disc as soon as they are released since I don't go to the theaters. I figure I can rent the movie ~5 times before it equals the cost of the 4K disc. I may just start keeping a library of titles I enjoy, and then rent them when I want to watch them.


This represents a complete shift from what I have been doing for the last 10ish years, but the writing is on the wall. I need to retire my physical media collection to the attic. The amount of money I spent on physical media a year alone keeps me at elite+ status with best buy.

If you buy new release digital content on iTunes, wait about 3 weeks after release and they will go on sale for 9.99. All digital goes on sale. Also, everyday itunes has a new group of 4.99 sales. I sold all my physical media on ebay and made great money / funded my new digital addiction.

You can "dump" (as in extract it from the disc) your own DVD & Blu-Ray collection to a hard drive and play it over your local network and then move all your discs to the attic, all without having to buy/replace all those movies on something like iTunes. I think the only "disc" I've played directly in the past year was Red Tails, but only because it's in Auro-3D PCM, which for some reason KODI can't passthrough untouched correctly (and Zidoo can't even play PCM period, let alone pass the signal through). Everything else plays just fine across the local network or straight off a local hard drive (My 3D MKV dumps for the Zidoo which I only need in one place and works more reliably than the network being very large files).

The best part is they can then play in any room in the house that has a Kodi or Zidoo player (or whatever compatible player of your choice; many use Plex for example) and the files are easily taken with you on trips via notebook computer or whatever (e.g. I used my Macbook on a 5-week cruise to play movies directly to the cabin's TV set on Princess; I took like 80 movies and four TV series (including all Two and a Half Men, for example). If you know anything about cruises, they charge ridiculous amounts for Internet access at low speeds so "streaming" from an AppleTV or the like isn't a viable option, really which is not an issue playing local content directly from the Macbook). I never had to hunt for something to watch on the Cruise's cheesy channels. Works in most hotel room TVs these days too (connect HDMI cable and play anything you want; I sent audio to a rechargable Bluetooth speaker I brought with me so I didn't have to worry about the TV's crappy speakers either).

Fortunately nearly everything I have bought in the last two years has come with a digital code (I know you do not technically own the movie). I am really thinking I should just sell off the disc while I can still actually get something for them.

 

[YaBe]

I like to own my stuff, and if there is a physical copy i'll buy that.

Resale value (for vintage games for example) the fact that i can borrow / lend it, and the fact that it'll work for as long as physically possible is a must.

Consider you buy a game for say a console, and when the developer decide it is time to drop support you'd be without the game you purchased (most of the time at the same price of a disk / cartrige).

I am the minority, but still play Sega Master System and stuff like that, and I can see myself playing the switch in say 15 years, will the dload service be there then? who knows!

That is the reason I would rent digital media vs "buying" it if I went that route. I know that doesn't help with your game example, but at least you are not losing your "purchase".

I disagree. Who the heck has the time to rip discs??? I've ripped up to five DVDs in the past and it's not something that i'd want to waste my precious time doing.
Movies seem to be your life so you are very different when it comes to this, but for the majority, ripping is time consuming and a pain and very five years ago!
Plus the advantage with iTunes is that you don't need to store it. Wherever you are in the world, you can play it from the iCloud or download to your iPad Pro / iPhone etc.

 

[HDFan]

Who the heck has the time to rip discs???

Er, why do you see this as a time consumer? It takes about a minute or 2 to eject the previous rip and start a new one. If you are actually on the computer then you're doing other stuff for those couple of minutes so there is no loss of time.

Not including ripping time of one hour per film! And then loading it onto a NAS drive after indexing it etc.
But then, a NAS is a spinning drive so that means it will slow and fail in time.
Not for me, that goes against the portability & convenience of having everything in the iCloud or on my MacBook Pro or iPhone.
Anyway, each to their own. Personally, I don't believe in overcomplicating anything in life - that's when humans mess things up!
Whatever makes you happy.

Sorry, but you seem to have no idea what you're talking about with modern drives. I rip while doing other things on the computer. It takes about 20 minutes for a BD and maybe 40 minutes for a 4K UHD one and maybe 6 minutes for a DVD with my USB3 4K friendly drive. If you add them as they come in, it's not a big deal. It rips in the background while I do other things. Hell, I ripped my entire CD collection (~400 CDs in two days many years ago while doing video editing. Just popped in a disc one after another (It took maybe 3-4 minutes a disc?)

I've had my DVD collection ripped since 2007. I've never lost a digital file (it's called a BACKUP). In fact, I have 2 backups for my digital media (which also includes old print photo albums scanned and cleaned up, etc. that I would not want to do ever again, so keeping an off-site backup seems like a smart idea, especially given how dirt cheap hard drives are today. You can buy a 5TB 2.5" drive that needs no power adapter for $100. God, I remember when I paid $400 for a 240 MEGABYTE SCSI drive for my Commodore Amiga 3000 back in 1992.... Discs are cheap. Backups are easy. If Apple's servers go down, I can keep on playing movies. Sorry if that's oh so 5 years ago. Most high quality home theaters still use UHD discs as they are far higher quality than streaming and many DTS:X titles are available in no other format.

I see your point, but how often do you use them?
I’ve got a NAS spinning, backed up to an external drive, also backed up to Idrive offsite.

But if I buy a film it’s now from iTunes, music I use AM, watching is Netflix.

Other than backing up my Mac I’m not sure why I keeping all this in place other than as a keep sake, I guess the modern age is turning the majority away from being file savers.

I remember the old days on here and the majority of the discussion seemed to be about ripping, file storage and backups, that discussion has gone.

You can't be much of a movie fan if your only real source of movies is Netflix. It's also very poor quality compared to even iTunes.

How often do I use them? A LOT. There's a few reasons:

1> My ISP still has bandwidth limits (currently at 1TB a month). Playing the title locally off my hard drive neither uses any bandwidth from the Internet nor slows down any other connections in my house using it.

2> Blu-Rays at the same resolution have higher quality video than the iTunes versions (I just directly compared Raiders of the Lost Ark and there is no contest). If you're watching this on anything but your phone, it's visually apparent. The 4K iTunes versions are typically better than 1080p Blu-Ray, but then UHD Blu-Rays at 4K are better than iTunes. Services like Netflix are typically much lower quality than iTunes and even less quality than Blu-Rays.

3> Blu-Rays have higher quality sound (usually DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby True-HD based, with or without Atmos. DTS:X is not available on iTunes. iTunes is either Dolby Digital Plus based for 7.1/Atmos titles or old fashioned Dolby Digital for 5.1 titles, both of which are lossy based formats whereas DTS Master and Dolby True-HD are lossless).

4> You typically get the digital copy with most newer Blu-Rays (sometimes you get the 4K version from Apple with the 2K disc code; I've got dozens like that). Often, I've found the Blu-Ray (with a digital copy mind you) for older movies costs $4-8 while the iTunes version might still be $10-15. It makes ZERO financial sense to buy the iTunes version at $10-15 if you can get the Blu-Ray with digital copy for less.

5> It's much harder to remove DRM from iTunes copies than Blu-Rays and impossible for 4K iTunes files as only an ATV 4K can even access them. I can dump 4K UHD BDs all day long and they will play with any digital media player that can play MKV like KODI. You don't have to worry about iTunes servers disappearing 20 years from now and ending up with NOTHING (if that sounds crazy, Ultra-Violet is GONE this summer already. You don't know what the market will bring).

6> iTunes versions of Blu-Rays that have DTS:X are only in 5.1 on iTunes (with the exception of Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom which has an Atmos version on iTunes and DTS:X on Blu-Ray and UHD Blu-Ray)

7> Other than Vudu (which uses inferior SBS), 3D movies are only on Blu-Rays and I'm a big 3D movie fan (92" screen with 3D projector).

I mean you can argue convenience all you want, but trading flawless CDs for lossy digital "Rent-A-Center" music you don't own and which they can take away as contracts change doesn't interest me very much. You also need an Internet connection (if you think cell service is everywhere you haven't gone hiking much or out in the country or mountains where service is spotty at best or non-existent at worse. Hell, going through a tunnel while driving kills everything but the CD/local drive players. If you own the music, it's not hard to keep a cheap USB stick around (I have a virtual radio station on random that plays only songs I like and requires no cell service or contract as I already own 12,000+ songs so why on Earth would I want to rent them from Apple Music?)

Or trading a home theater experience for a 6-8" phone or slightly larger tablet...well sorry, but I like the movie theater experience not the 1980s portable television experience. Retro is one thing, but a phone is not a cinema and neither is a 55-65" TV. I'm at 92" and looking to go to 115" soon (as large as will fit on my wall in my home theater).

 

[Andysedg]

Yes will continue to buy Blu-ray until Apple TV can play 24.000 FPS films correctly. Content at 23.976 (majority of films) play correctly - but films encoded at 24.000 are played back at 23.976 causing a stuttering / dropped frame. Not great. Mainly European films affected from my experience.

It makes ZERO financial sense to buy the iTunes version at $10-15 if you can get the Blu-Ray with digital copy for less.

The trick is to use a service like Cheapcharts and be patient. You can pick up films cheap as chips.

You don't have to worry about iTunes servers disappearing 20 years from now and ending up with NOTHING (if that sounds crazy, Ultra-Violet is GONE this summer already. You don't know what the market will bring).

True enough. But haven't a lot of people spent money to re-buy their media when moving from VHS > DVD > Blu-ray > Blu-Ray UHD? So I would say it's swings and roundabouts. At least iTunes are dolling out free 4K upgrades for some films.

You also need an Internet connection (if you think cell service is everywhere you haven't gone hiking much or out in the country or mountains where service is spotty at best or non-existent at worse.

Seriously though. Who is watching films when hiking, aren't you supposed to be enjoying nature? Download them if you must, I think pretty much every service offers that these days.

I'm at 92" and looking to go to 115" soon (as large as will fit on my wall in my home theater).

This would make you a tiny minority. In the end market forces win out.

Each to their own but I would not be happy with life with a hobby watching TV & film. It does nothing for me. A huge screen TV thing repulses me in 100% honesty and fairness. I love travelling, seeing the world and taking part in my sports. If I sat indoors looking at a screen for my free time, i'd be miserable. And certainly, 20 years from now, I really would not care a damn about films that i'd bought 20 years earlier. If anything, they'd be replaced with whatever is around by then. But seriously man, there's a whole world out there and TVs and BluRays really really should not fit into that equation or be a big part of someones life. Just look at AV forums - they are full of sad and very lonely miserable old men, bickering with each other and truly unhappy. It's clear that, that way of life is very shallow and dark.
The chances are, if you took a TV away from the majority of the people in this world, they'd soon learn that there is a far far far better experience of life out there!

Nice that you have 12,000 tracks of music but hey, I bet that you don't play them all!
I have 3000 but I maybe listen to less than 50 different ones throughout the week

Absolutely agree. iTunes film world great for me. We watch a film once a week on a Thursday evening and then I'll watch parts of films on my flights/train journeys and fortnightly Eurostar journey.

 

[MagnusVonMagnum]

@BODYBUILDERPAUL - So, in other words you don't actually like movies so what you want and what you do are irrelevant to anyone on here talking about reality when it comes to movies. I wouldn't call watching movies a "hobby" per se. It's something you do when it's dark out and you're bored along with video games. You can go old school and play board games. You can go to the pub and get drunk. You can go work out or you can go camping. I wouldn't call any of those things "hobbies". If I want to watch a movie, I want it to be like a movie theater as it's more immersive that way. Little phones and tablets aren't a valid movie experience, IMO.

@steve23094 - Rebuying over 1000 movies would be expensive, alright. It made sense to upgrade from NTSC formats as they were awful resolution. But anything above 1080p is pretty much pointless unless you go to one of those "minority screen sizes" over 100" so I'm pretty sure I won't be rebuying most of my movies. The best might get 4K at some point, but then that's one thing Apple has been good about, upgrading 1080p to 4K for free as they become available if you got them from iTunes. I have about 1/4 my collection on iTunes (via digital copies, some direct purchases, etc.) and maybe 1/2 of those will get 4K upgrades. I've bought some 4K re-issues on movies I really like if they have Atmos/X soundtracks. Otherwise, I couldn't care less.

Dude, I use the LaCie Porsche external hard drive as my business backup - it works so well with TimeMachine. I back up at least once a week or the same evening if something super important is created.
I bought it from the Apple Store wayyyyyyyyyy back in the summer of 2013 and it's still perfect. Comes in handy to when i've deleted a video or film and then realise that i'd like to see it again

That LaCie drive is getting seriously decent reviews.
This could result in dvd collection finally being removed from disc format and uploaded.
Think 1 tb should suffice.

Thanks!
