Packing up to move and as I’m boxing away all the old dvds that were stored in the basement I came across a masterpiece.

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, if not hoping someone can steer me in the right direction!
Looking for recommendations for a good reliable external dvd/cd burner for Mac? My last one died after about a year of pretty infrequent use (Amazon - Rioddas brand)
TIA :)
I just recently got back into physical media and the dvd collecting experience has been the absolute worst.
I live in Portugal and trying to get my hands on my favorite shows has been a pain in the ass, they not only stopped selling dvds for good but I also have to worry about the stupid dvd regions
Why are all the dvds that I want only avaliable for region 1?
Dvd regions are dumb, specially during a time when no one gives a fuck about dvds...
I 100% get why streaming is winning, it's not because of the price, it's not because of the convenience, it's because buying dvds/blurays or any other format feels impossible.
Adventure Time is a show I really wanted to own physically, but my only options are buying the Australian bluray from a scammer on ebay for 500$ or buying a region-free player and the American dvd which would cost basically the same.
Another one of my favorite series is regular show and I really wanted to get it on dvd, thats until I found out that for regions 2 and 4 they released every season and that for my region, that being region 2, they only bothered to release the first season, not to mention that the cover is also looks worse...
I wish I could just go to a goddamn retail store and buy the shit I want to buy, I envy the american life...
What started as a GMTK 2025 jam game has now become Insert Disc, a DVD screensaver inspired roguelike. We recently released this announcement trailer!
As a 2-person indie studio, we get to add exact references that are nostalgic for our own childhood, particularly from the 2000s era such as the lava lamp and those red coin return buttons on arcade machines. Some gameplay inspirations were Nubby's Number Factory and Balatro, but many have compared us to the satisfying bouncing of Peggle as well.
Ultimately, we wanted to make a relaxing/even hypnotizing experience that captures some of that Saturday late night gaming feel, back when we had no responsibilities or bills to pay :')

HBO - Please create and distribute a Blu-ray and 4K UHD of The Wire in its originally intended aspect ratio of 4:3. In my opinion, The Wire is the greatest and most important American television series and deserves to be preserved in the highest possible quality and in its original form.
had this dvd player for a while now and it was working fine all morning. had a couple issues where it’ll say “disc incompatible” but once i cleaned the dvd and turned the dvd player off and on it worked.
anyway my show ended so i had to change the dvd. but when i did it showed disc not compatible. i tried doing the thing i did earlier and it didn’t work. then i went on the internet and it said to try and clean the lens (which i think i did, i couldn’t quite see the lens very well)
please tell me there’s a quick and easy way to fix this i don’t want to get rid of this dvd player.
As the title says. I have found some sellers on eBay selling M-DISC DVDs, but I'd rather buy from a more official/trustworthy source if available.
(note: I want to back up some family DVDs currently on conventional Taiyo Yuden DVD-R discs and I want the backups to be playable on standard DVD players, and yes, I have an M-DISC DVD writer)
Most of the programs I'm finding are ancient, and I'm not even sure they're compatible with Windows 11.
I'm trying to burn around 10 childhood videos to DVD, but nothing I've tried so far seems to work properly on Windows 11. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Here are the Disney Princess DVDs from 2004 to 2005!
Can someone upload it/them as DVD ISO(s) to the Internet Archive?
I'm looking to start collecting movies and don't know whether to collect more VHS or DVDs. What are the pros and cons of collecting VHS or DVD?
I have a Sony UBP X700 player and been pretty happy w it for 4K viewing, but been considering picking up a region free Panasonic. I have a bunch of non Region A DVDs I'd love to watch again. They are not even blu rays so doesn't really matter how amazing the player is for those discs but I do want a strong 4K player for all the 4Ks I own and will continue to pick up. Any recos on which jailbreaked Panasonic to target and what good price point to keep in mind for said recos?
eBay has a Panasonic DP-UB450 Multi-Region / Region Free for about $450. Is this good?
Bought these at a local vintage shop for $2 each.
I made a horror game inspired by the early 00s.
CRT TVs, DVD discs, screensavers, and that weird feeling of being alone in front of the TV late at night.
I found this DVD while thrifting. It’s from 2001, in German (although you can switch to other languages for some parts) and has 34 trailers for DVDs that were coming out around that time.
It is basically a promo DVD for the DVD format. In 1998, DVD became widely available across Europe and in Germany.
The back says: “The Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) offers a whole new dimension of home entertainment: crystal-clear picture, brilliant sound, a choice of different language tracks and subtitles, interactive menus, additional background information, and more.”
"On this jam-packed DVD, you can watch 34 trailers for current and upcoming DVD releases and experience lots of special features like “making-ofs,” deleted scenes, and interviews. Get ready to be amazed by the world of DVD."
I’m considering buying the DVD box set but I’m seeing two different versions. Is there a difference of packaging or quality in any way? If one doesnt have those bulky cheap plastic cases that house like 20 discs it would be nice to get that version instead.
I found this dvd in my dad’s collection but when I looked at it, I saw that it said “For promotional use only, not for sale or rental” in multiple areas. When I hit play, multiple warning come on screen, then it says coming to dvd soon. I this illegal to have, or worth anything?
