How long til Blu-rays get phased out - eviltoast

Basically just the title. With DVDs getting tossed to the wind it made me wonder when will blu-rays go? I’m gonna miss bloopers and extra scenes

    I‘m not sure I understand you correctly. Unchangeable media has several upsides:

    • no virus or person without physical access can corrupt or destroy the data
    • even if inserted, nothing can change it
    • physical media can still be copied and backed up by any and all other means

    I do accept that without programs to bypass copy protection, commercial movie discs are kind of a problem. Still, I dont see a problem of using burned discs as a long term storage device.

      Okay, we might have been talking about different things. I am basically saying formats like video DVD, BluRay,… have no advantage over the same medium with a file on there that you can easily copy to a new one if necessary. Linking the format of the content to the medium itself is a bad idea.

        Yes. I fully agree and I meant storing files on blu ray disks but I probably failed to say so directly.
