The R3wind - Why I'm back in on DVDs. 

This is the third video about collecting DVDs I've seen in as many weeks. Looks like I was ahead of the curve I've been loading up on used DVDs for the past three to four years most of them for 5 bucks or less

DVDs are still amazing on CRT TVs. I mean to enjoy an entire 90s experience.

i really miss the days of videoshops and movie posters too. had my room covered from wall to wall in my teens in movies posters the guy who ran the video shop up the road used to let me have when he needed space to advertise the newer movies.

I’ve been hyping the resurgence of DVDs is coming. Cool to see this!

8:38 I love theatrical movie posters too from back in the day and many years ago, I purchased a lot of original theatrical posters via eBay (Ones that studios provided to movie theatres; not just the reproductions sold in stores for the general public) because I loved the artwork, the nostalgia factor, and I even thought about framing some or specific ones for movie nights with friends as a "Now Playing" novelty. Some of the posters I have include: - Many variations of 'Star Wars' movie posters, especially the original trilogy, and many are rolled and in perfect condition. - 'Metropolis' (1927) as reissued on a large French poster. - '2001: A Space Odyssey' (large Italian poster). - Disney's '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' (large French poster). - 'Blade Runner: The Director's Cut' - Large French posters by Jean Mascii for the five original 'Planet of the Apes' movies (Of course! Haha!) that measure 47 inches wide by 63 inches in length (Huge!). - 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly' (large French poster by Jean Mascii). - 'The Seven Year Itch' (a German poster that is very reminiscent of an Andy Warhol design). - 'Death Wish' (large French poster). - 'Gallipoli' (large French poster). - 'Tron: Legacy' (large French poster). - 'The Watchmen' (large French poster). - Etc. I'm mainly attracted to vintage or classic posters that were drawn or painted (illustrated in some way) that have striking images and graphics, particularly if they depict a key scene or scenes from the movie. I can't stand modern Photoshop posters that are lazily designed and often just show photographed headshots of the principal actors/characters that don't excite or inspire me the way that classic posters sold movies to potential audiences. :)

I love DVDs, in my opinion if you have a CRT TV DVDs will look best on a CRT TV especially via RGB SCART and Component, I personally have Blu-Rays as my favourite home video format (I would say 4K but I don't have a 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player nor a 4K TV) however the jump in video quality from DVD to Blu-Ray is outstanding, I think it's also worth mentioning that the key factor to DVDs success was the PlayStation 2 which also lead to the console being the best selling console of all time due to it at the time of release being the cheapest DVD player which enticed consumers, similarly to an extent the PlayStation 3 being the cheapest Blu-Ray player at the time of release helped the format which definitely helped it beat HD DVD which the Xbox 360 used DVDs as its disc based media and had a HD DVD player add on

Here in Portugal we have some really nice collecting facebook groups for trading and selling DVDs. I got a huge part of my collection there once i started buying movies again. It's really fun specially when something rare appears, gives you a feeling of joy and nostalgia, just love it!

Awesome channel, keep up the good work and the nostalgic memories!

Collecting old DVDs is fun! I like going into thrift stores and hunting for Blu-rays, and I always look through the DVDs too. I've found Silence of the Lambs with lenticular cover art, a nice edition of Se7en designed like the killer's notebooks. On my most recent trip I found a zero-budget African romance movie that I couldn't leave behind. If it's got nice packaging or looks really bizarre or obscure, it's coming home with me. $3 to $5 is my limit for a DVD though

I converted my collection to mkv with makemkv and am impressed with the quality streaming to my bluray player. It's just the really old dvds that have quality issues.

New sub here! I too am collecting again! I also become happy about the things I love to buy. I’m collecting my 80s and 90s movies I loved in the day! Anyway, Keep up the great work man.

Nice vid , im a physical media collector myself, i have thousands of dvds, blurays, 4ks, vhs, laserdiscs ect and winter really ? Your lucky i love the winter, here in England its bloomin boiling, i dont like the heat, wouldnt be as bad if there was a nice cold breeze with it. But yes charity shops are a good way to pick up physical media on the cheap and sometimes they have great films in there to add to the collection

I had hundreds of VHS tapes, now I have hundreds of DVDs and Blu-Rays. I don't regard myself as a collector, though. I just buy movies and TV shows I know I'll like or if they're cheap enough and they look half decent, then I'll give them a go. I rarely pay full price for any of them. I have a typed up wish-list that I carry with me when I see there's another sale on. I don't buy many discs online, because there's the risk of them being damaged in transit. If I find out I don't like something I bought cheap, I just give it away to someone else. Some of my brand-new movies only cost Au50c. That's less than a replacement DVD case! About half the movies only cost me about Au$2 second hand.

Neverending story was actually the first "legit" dvd i ever bought and technically the start of my movie collection😂. ive got that same cardboard clip case too

The first DVD(s) i bought was A nightmare on Elmstreet box with the first 7 movies. I kinda want to sell my DVD collection (or most of them) because they just collecting dust but they just aren't worth anything. A few years back i threw away alot of my VHS and a few of them i regretted (wish i digitized them first).

I really do not know what you are trying to say, but quality blu-ray 1080p , 4k 2160 p, i have had to buy a few on dvd cos they are not available on the other formats, but have a lot of blu-rays, some rare items too, The old title from Warner Bros, Never Ending Story is on 4k, and will look better than your old DVD.

Hello, you have a new subscriber from the US. Are there many places to still buy movies in South Africa? Do you import a lot from the UK/Australia and such?

I'm guessing you're South African, so your tiemeline for DVD->BluRay->Streaming is about a decade off what it is in the UK. But yeah I do kinda agree that owning physical media is pretty nice. I still have a huge collection of DVDs. The only players I have left though are games consoles. Hah! Neverending Story. That's also one of the first DVDs I ever bought, probably one of the first movies I ever saw as a kid. Nostlagia. It's great to own a copy.

Tough to watch DVD versus blu ray and 4K....

Winter coming? Damn, where do you live?

Even blue rays are cheap now

And there is disc rot
