Blu-ray As Fast As Possible 

Haha 4k go brrr

It feels somewhat sharper and the film grain effect is much more noticable on blu-ray than netflix since netflix compression removes it. Also dark scenes looks 10x better than on streaming services. If you compare the skin details, it looks like look like beige mud on the streaming services.

Also, many companies remove scenes from movies when they become controversial etc. so you might lose out on some of the movie

that's why i use IPT, rarbg to download full BD files 😹

Netflix was so much better back in the day before other studios began their own streaming services. Also when they ended DVD service they took a huge hit in content as well.

but when you download, it isn't capped

Sjard Willems v It actually is though.

Torrents are occasionally full quality but i have yet to see a legit download that isn't too compressed.

Kempes SFA Disc are becoming obsolete, and you can't say they're not because they are weak and easily scratched. So no matter how many gigabytes they claim to store, cartridges will always be better.

Redstone Tech If you're talking about Compact Disc, Or DVD, you're right. But if you're talking about Blu-Ray, you can't be farther from the truth. For example, Blu-Ray's look better, offer extras, has surround sound, It doesn't eat up internet to use, etc. To say that they are becoming obselete is ridiculous.

Don't they cost too much

@@rahulsemwal569 not really. They go on sale all the time. So long as you don't rush to get physical media on day one and track a budget for it, it's not that hard to afford a few every so often or even every month

Have you ever tried using a Playstation 3 on a CRT HDTV over a component connection? That would be the ultimate Blu-ray experience. CRT HDTVs have better responsiveness and more contrast than digital flat panels. You'd be able to get native YCbCr color space over a component connection instead of having to convert to limited RGB over HDMI.

@@MrUnknownuser164 I haven't but now I really want to. Man, I need to get myself a good HD CRT. Something good to play my retro consoles alone would feel worth it to me, but I'm sure that blu-rays would look amazing on one

@@Chronoflation I'd personally limit usage of retro consoles to ordinary standard definition CRTs with composite (480i). I specifically mentioned the Playstation 3 because it's the only console capable of displaying Blu-ray discs on an analog HDTV over component (1080i). I personally want to be able to get an external HD-DVD drive for my old Xbox 360 S, along with getting a CRT HDTV (since I already have the component cable), but that would be a lot of effort.

Wait, you have both consoles?

But you don't sell your games with your system, the ownership is bound to the account, not the console.

+M390VI Many of us don't have it, and I think in 2016 is plain upsurd to have a data cap on your home network. I have a 30/30 mbit internet for 5$ a month without a data cap. I feel so luky.

lil115slayer i use McBoot to turn my PS2 games into digital and play them on the PS2 with a hard drive. that way i dont put anymore wear and tear on the DVD drive (which is already messing up).

+Branden Lucero Why? I don't understand buying games on a disk. So what if you could go to the store and install the game before it downloads? If you lose, scratch, accidentally break or any number of other things you won't be able to play it anymore. Also, if you keep all of your disks and have never broken one good for you, but there's always a possibility. If you accidentally delete or somehow get rid of them unwillingly you can just redownload them.

+DanielRichards644 Yeh I was talking like 5-10 years. Though I see it happening, another way of distributing physical media. The price of flash is falling quite quickly but there is, like you said, quite a few years or so before it will even match optical disk prices.

+LegoGuy87 they will very soon. HDD will soon be like floppy disks to cds

And I ask how can black OPS 3 be un a disck It needs 120 gb?

Go to your local computer store, and buy a spindle of single layer Blu-ray discs and a single 32 GB flash drive. Per gigabyte, optical the cheapest method of storage.

I don't think so... I've got cap-less gigabit and just downloaded a few TiB. That means everyone else has comparable service, right? ...

+Animiles ... a 40GB IDE HDD was like $300-500 in 2000. Pretty sure that hardly anyone worried about downloading 300GB... at 56k Modem speeds, downloading 300GB would take some 1.5 years as well lol

+Animiles In Australia we still have data caps, before mid last year we had 200GB a month, now we have 500GB a month.

+Jordan Johnson (Mighty Burger) 50gb -_-

+Angel Luis Trinidad well you can stream video in "true" 4k but the bitrate is rather limited... 4k blu rays will have a bitrate of ~100Mb/s which would be impossible to steam for the majority of users...

+joejoe4games Thanks for your comment, but I say the same thing on my comment, "4K Blu-ray player that will play the new 100gb Blu-ray disks to accommodate 4K movies and videos. It will be the only way to watch true 4k quality on your 4k TV's".

+DanielRichards644 Correct, and also better sound quality, like Luke said on the video.

I am pretty sure youre god, because youre everywhere

Umm, no? You can do what pirates have done for decades: download the lossless format and store it on your device. If you cannot stream it real-time, you can simply download it onto a storage device, "buffering" in a way. Especially when storage is cheap and becoming even cheaper. I see no practical reasons for storing media on optical disks, when you can just download everything onto a cheap HDD. And if it breaks, you can simply re-download it via servers. And even if servers break down, there is p2p which is virtually life-long. Just face it, the slow and fragile optical disks are becoming obsolete.

Physical media like Blu-ray and DVD are a much better option than streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+, HBO Max, and Starz. Physical media offers a higher quality picture and sound while also being much cheaper overall. Additionally, the majority of physical media is also DRM-free, meaning you can take it and use it with any player on any platform. Overall, physical media is definitely the superior choice when compared to streaming services.

I can tell you that NOT every movie is available to stream and stream services usually only carry the latest movies until they remove them so having the actual vhs tape or dvd disc is more valuable. Sadly 99% of the population are part of the collective where everyone streams and nobody has physical media anymore.

It IS obsolete to the collective majority

@@ACommenterOnRU-vid According to Google, they're not obsolete.

Ebay is your friend.

Good luck finding a CRT that can handle 24 Hz progressive 1080p input.... As far as I could find, they only accept 1080i50, 1080i60, 720p50 and 720p60. So motion will not be fluent and the PS3 has to do 3/2 frame pull up. Another downside is that for movies sample-and-hold displays make sense, especially with black frame insertion, as it looks much closer to theater projectors. A CRT draws line after line, very weird.

@2kBofFun good point. Since I wrote, I did end up getting an HD CRT. While the lining might be unsightly, the pull-down doesn't bother me. And the image is fantastic.

No, they're not strictly for video only. You can add a BD-R or a BD-RE (rewritable) drive to your PC and you can pretty much store anything you like to in them, from pictures to music to documents to programs and anything else you want. Discs also come in 50 GB and 100 GB varieties.

50 and 100 GB sizes? Cool. Good to know - thanks for the info.

@@BlackieNuff You're welcome. However, in order to be able to write on 100 GB discs, you need to find a drive that supports BD-XL, something to keep in mind. I also found out that an even bigger edition going up to 128 GB was released in November last year, but only BD-R, no BD-RE yet.

Ahh, that's right - I would indeed need to invest in a proper BluRay burner drive if I were to use the discs, wouldn't I? :-P Good to know about the specs & limitations - I will definitely keep those details in mind. Thanks again. :-)

why not dvds

@@Mariofans-gn1lu because they’re objectively lower quality than Blu-ray

@@Mariofans-gn1lu For a DVD the movie is degraded and recoded to fit CRT interlaced TV standards so a CRT can show it directly. Blu Ray stores the movie as close as possible to capture the original film. It leaves it completely to the playback device how it can be shown best. So focus on a single type of TV that is very obsolete, vs focus on capturing the original film as close as possible. Pick your choice.

Dvd-ram was more resistant.

Those game consoles do not use DVD-type discs to store games. PS3 and PS4 physical games use Bluray type discs (for Xbox One I'm not sure). And when we talk DVD and Bluray, we're mostly referring to it as a video storage format. CDs are becoming obsolete in favor of the more convenient streaming as well as digital purchases. Normal CDs also do not support hi-fi beyond 16-bit/44.1 kHz. And when there had been more hi-fi formats available in the market such SACDs and DVD audio, they had not really been taken advantage of in the first place for whatever reason. CDs can be seen as the last surviving major physical audio format. They're still convenient to keep around if you own a DVD/Bluray player, CD player radio/boombox, PC disc drive, PS3/Xbox 360, and such. There are still very good reasons to actually keep certain DVDs, but the incentive to buy them over Bluray is becoming lower day by day. This is especially prophetic with standard definition releases on Bluray. Bluray is kind of becoming obsolete but they still have big incentives for people to buy them which are mentioned in the video.

@@lemons2300 I still use cds and dvds on a regular business and never really thought of upgrading older tech. What's the point anyways when you the newer technology will be something different anyways in a few years

@@fanofananimal4420 Formats become obsolete when companies stop producing them and when consumers drift away from it. They're tangible consumer things like any other. Upgrading means you care about better experience with better technology. Bluray support 1080p and are optimized for FHD(1080p) TVs, while DVDs are optimized for interlaced tube SDTVs (although back in the days, people preferred watching on EDTVs and HDTVs because it's newer and supposedly better). For audio, DVD support 24-bit/96KHz and 5.1ch, while Bluray support 24-bit/192KHz and 7.1ch. Bluray is on the verge of becoming replaced by streaming as well as 4K UHD Bluray. Audio CD to streaming is not necessarily an upgrade. It's technically a downgrade as with Spotify and RU-vid. Unless the streaming service offers perfect CD quality audio or better. Whether it matters or not depends on your ears. CD/DVD ROMs for PC applications are practically obsolete as most people now have access to fast broadband Internet. Bluray isn't really a significant upgrade for SD content (such as the old TV shows). Bluray is optimized for HD content especially 1080p, at 16:9 aspect ratio. 4:3 content appears normally on a modern 16:9 screen with a possibility of offering slight picture improvement over DVDs (my guess is that SD content on Bluray is likely pre-deinterlaced professionally, but they didn't see the incentive to spend the extra mile to upscale the show into HD), but on a 4:3 TV it might become bordered by black bars on all four sides due to a possible lack of 4:3 support (I could be wrong), in addition to possibly no closed captions support (I could be wrong). Bluray also has larger storage size though this hardly matters nowadays. Contrary to popular belief, DVD is optimized for 4:3 aspect ratio (content such as pre-HD TV shows). Anamorphic widescreen mode means stretching out the picture into 16:9 from the native 4:3 DVD source to produce the intended viewing state. This can take a toll on the picture quality, although for the average consumer the difference would be completely unnoticeable/ignorable. Movies are usually widescreen and so normally uses anamorphic widescreen on DVDs. Because DVDs are optimized for tube SDTVs, I would say DVDs are best for SD content such as TV shows, music videos, and cartoons from the late 20th century or the early 2000s. Most of those forms of media had never seen releases with genuine HD transfers (such as commonly with hollywood movies)--only remaster releases which are professionally upscaled from the SD source. Based on personal experience, I've only encountered anime with HD releases, most of them likely archived on film (shaky with occasional dust) rather than digitally (looks to be 100% digital animation with no shaking or dust).

@@lemons2300 I get what your saying but the think is for me that me and my family never really upgrade technology unless we have to, because for our use its more beneficial as we are just the average viewer (or average listener) . Also when you said tube tvs did you mean the crt ones. My street just seems to be in the old fashion my neighbour had to get me to get him more cds for his car so rellay there is a small community that find them useful. Personally for old pcs, using a disk would be better for software as some websites don't offer guides for certain os.

@@fanofananimal4420 The general consumer generally value convenience over quality. And of course price is also a factor. Subscribing to netflix or hulu will be cheaper than buying DVDs/Blurays every month while also being more convenient. Downside is you don't own any video files when you use streaming service. So when the license to a movie/show isn 't renewed, that movie/show would be taken away from the service and you can't ever watch/rewatch it again. Same goes for music streaming. It's convenient for listening to music on the go, but the audio quality might not be as good and they could take your favorite songs away from the platform. Yes, I was talking about CRT TVs. AFAIK CRT TVs are the only TVs (I think) that can natively display in interlaced, which makes CRT SDTVs the true SDTVs. LCDs display everything progressively because that's just how the display works. CRTs can also display progressive, such as with computer monitors or EDTVs/HDTVs.

I can stuff between 2 and 6HRs of full hd video, and 9 hours in hd on a single layer dvd using nero.

No matter what I'd still use the classic dvds or VHS tapes my granny even stores old TV programmes on VHS tapes even and old postman pat movie.

He's kinda right, some games like ff 13 have better textures thanks to the blu ray capacity

Too bad the PS3 was ridiculously hard to develop, so most games just look very similar on both platforms (some games (especially during the early years of the PS3) are worse on PS3 than on 360 due to the complicated hardware).

Which is better for dvd video 480p tv or 1080p tv

You can summarise this video: "Blue ray has smaller wavelength, meaning more data per unit area on disc."

It's at the last part, so you can enjoy the video, find another one to watch and not worry about how much time the sponsor takes up in the first place.

Jordan Johnson You don't have to tell me any of that. I didn't bother watching the sponsor spot at all and just closed the tab. The point was not that you HAVE to watch it.

My point is that if you have to put in very minimal effort to avoid watching it, why complain? It's either that or them getting less money and the whole video being less quality.

Jordan Johnson Then why do you bother replying to my comment that carries a mostly unrelated point? Okay, here we go... 1. If people don't watch it at all, what's the point of it being there in the first place? 2. They have usually made shorter sponsor spots so far, even on WAN Show there were some shorter ones. I haven't noticed a difference in video quality that would be based on ad length. 3. Shorter sponsor spots are less boring and tend to get more views for this exact reason. Therefore, money argument is kind of invalid. 4. If people cut out from the video at the beginning of or even half-way through the sponsor spot, they don't get to the outro, where they're reminded to subscribe and check out their other content. If noone sees/hears those reminders, what's the point of them existing? 5. And last but not least - yes, it is minimal effort for me to skip the sponsor spot. That is not the point. I use AdBlock. The point is to discuss the format of the ads I actually support. Get it now? It would've been less of an effort to watch the 1.5-minute-long sponsor integration than to reply to your comments...

***** 1. The point is so they can get paid by the sponsors. The sponsors want to get as much attention as possible, and they will pay people to give them attention. That's the entire point of the sponsor being in the video. 2. The point isn't how long the sponsor is. The point is that it's there in the first place, and that it's at the end. I didn't say it would be less quality if it was shorter. I was saying it would be less quality if videos didn't have sponsors for a while. It should not matter to you how long the sponsors are because you don't have to watch them. 3. My argument wasn't that longer sponsors give more money. My argument was that without the sponsor, they wouldn't get money from them. Read my original comment, and you'll find there's no trace of me saying longer sponsors mean more money. 4. Good point. But think about it. What's better, that reminder or a sponsor? What will give them more money? There's your answer. And shortening the sponsor won't help much. Whether the sponsor is 10 seconds long or 2 hours long, I'm going to go away from the video before it ends either way. 5. I use AdBlock too. If you don't want to support LTT then don't watch their videos. If you don't like the ad format don't watch the ads. It's that simple. Get it now? Yes, it would have been less effort to watch the sponsors. But hey, arguing with people on the internet is fun. That's why I do it!
