dvd has been out longer and can out match blue ray dvds all ways , did you know this blue ray is fading not going to make it and the same goes for 4k dvds and 3d movies died and the tvs , get ready for this there is a another format coming out.....i am lucky living where i am all over my area dvds are only 50 ea and box sets are only 3 ea .....blue rays up here are only 2 ea , i buy about 400 a week no limits

[@RobertK1993]

rigomortisfxstudios Blu Ray destroys DVD in terms of video and audio quality.

[@moomin7461]

It depends on the quality of the source material and the blu ray transfer. Modern movies will generally look better on blu ray and in 4k but some older movies can actually look worse (increased grain in the picture, for example).

[@Alienkiwi730]

DVD has more options. More movies that have been reissued time and time again on that format, where on blu ray a lot of movies have only been released once, which creates a nightmare for collectors who got on the wagon late. I personally prefer to see Star Wars on DVD. No added audio and CGI that appears on the blu ray versions

[@vinyl-maniac6400]

Then simply, why did you watch the video in the first place.

[@TheDeathOfLucifer]

I find more DVDs would jam pack special features and Bluray a lot of times have either the same or fewer special features. That said there was a lot of re-release of DVDs like 5 dollar versions that are in the same basket.

[@MrJay197409]

I have a 1080p TV 40 inch Sony Bravia . I have connected to it Samsung 4K blu ray player. I purchased a copy of Blade on DVD it looks okay it could be better. I went to the library and checked out a copy of the Blu-ray version of Blade difference is huge. I guess upscaling can only do so much, from now on when I do buy movies that they're going to be on Blu-ray. I'm just spoiled and think not certain but think blu ray sounds better too.

[@youtuberyoutuber2495]

might be because blueray is more fitted for bigger TVs while DVDs are not. I have a smaller TV than you and DVDs are just fine on it.

[@Nickwilde2295]

Blu-ray discs are more resistant to damage caused by scratches and fingerprints than DVDs due to a TDK hard coat applied to the surface of the disc, according to proponents of the storage format.

[@2kBofFun]

And improved digital error correction schemes.

I bought my first blu ray in 2016 and I loved the quality it had. But these days I don't see any difference between the formats, so I've started going back to DVD. They're cheaper too and don't come with all those annoying marketing gimmicks.

[@Dreyz-pg2zz]

Well for me I'm very observant so I usually pick blu ray. I usually get dvd for tv shows since shows on blu ray are so expensive

[@thatshot8]

Artwork is extremely important, it is art after all.

[@RPKGameVids]

I buy whichever has the most features. If the DVD and Blu Ray versions of a film or TV show have the same features, I'll get the Blu Ray since the video quality is going to be better, it makes sense since I have a Blu Ray player and Blu Ray's aren't always that expensive. It's nice to have an excuse for buying something on VHS and watching it on my VCR though, like a TV show or film I'm interested in which only got a VHS release, it has a novelty factor now and it's nice to still have these connections to the past.

[@macinman]

Here are my thoughts on DVD vs Blu-ray: First, most major releases of new titles come in a Blu-ray / DVD / digital pack, or now with UHD Blu-ray, UHD / Blu-ray / digital. With that said, yes, people still have the option to buy just the DVD, but for a couple dollars more, buying the Blu-ray package makes more sense because you get both formats plus a digital copy for one price. If you're someone who doesn't need DVD, then there is the 4k UHD package that contains the 4k Blu-ray, and a standard Blu-ray + a digital copy that's also usually 4K (these days) depending on the studio. With that said I have some old TV shows that came on DVD, which were never HD, or widescreen to begin with. In this case, they will most likely not be released on Blu-ray, and if they were, it would probably be a waste due to the age and format of the content. So I would offer the thought, it depends on what type of content someone watches, as to what format they buy it on.

[@nickotasla3091]

😠👍Bro....That's exactly what I was about to type ,word for word, ...but as I was about to start typing all that , I glanced and saw yours..so....😠👍Great Stuff.

[@dylanringproductions160]

The quality of Blu Ray is undeniably better in almost every regard! The DVD looks really dated nowadays and looks fuzzy and nowhere near the Cristal quality of Blu Ray, why they haven't left yet is confusing. the only reason I would still get DVDs is if I bought it used for cheap and I didn't own the movie on Blu Ray and didn't want to pay for a Blu Ray version or maybe it's just a movie I don't care about as much, or if it's a compatibility reason, let's say you know you will not have a Blu Ray player if you are going somewhere. As for 4k it looks very good but it's not that much of a step up from Blu Ray besides the hdr, and as its expensive to buy a player at this moment, I am perfectly content with my Blu Ray movies as they still look really really good!

[@briankrasne3518]

Facts. I'm not going back to standard 420p trash. In my opinion DVD looks almost as ancient as VHS was just with a little bit less fuzziness. Blue Ray has like no noticeable fuzziness even today.

[@Alienkiwi730]

I don't really think the DVD is dated, it's the TV we're supposed to use them on that's now obsolete. DVD considerably looks great on a CRT TV, and also looks good on PC and Mac , and going for that jump from VHS back in the day was HUGE. But yes, DVD looks terrible on modern LCD and Plasma TVs, simply because it's not FOR those TVs

[@EricaYE6]

I had a professor in college who always came to class drunk. You reminded me of him there.

[@BackLooking]

There is a lot of films that won´t make it to blu ray in the near future or maybe at all. There are still movies that were on VHS and still aren´t on DVD. And DVD on a Blu ray player looks still pretty good to me. So I would not get rid of DVD´s and I gladly buy them if they contain some rare film or some interesting extras or some kind of rare cut....there is still a place for DVDs. No problem.

[@DC-eq4yh]

There always gotta be haters smh. U did a good job. I go with blueray for the simple fact of durability, way to easy to scratch a DVD

[@nathancruz9172]

Ironically, blu ray disc is more scratch resistant.

[@theshadowman1398]

No DVD is not in it's last days. It is very up-scalable, and the video quality is simply to good to ditch it and go get a blu ray version.

[@turntablethomas2584]

Some ppl say Blu-ray’s are a marketing scam but some say it is actually worth it and really way better than dvd. I agree with both things actually. Both are a major improvement over VHS. The reason why Blu Ray hasn’t dethroned DVD like DVD has dethroned VHS is because DVD and Blu Ray both include clear digital video, and are good enough for simply just popping in a movie and playing it. (Obviously anything in 1080p will win because of extra skin clarity, even Amazon videos in HD) When he goes on about how muddy and distorted dvd is, it made me assume that this dude has never watched a VHS tape in his entire life. Seriously, those who complain about dvd should really try watching a VHS tape. I am grateful for my dvd collection, and as someone who has connected his DVD player to his 1080p TV, I notice no issue with the picture whatsoever.

[@simonvance8054]

Thanks...good to know...

[@ChronoTriggerMTY]

the DVD format hasn't gone away because people don't want to. It is the longest-lived format of the cinema industry.

[@ryans413]

Let me give you some real information DVD 720x480i / interlaced some TVs could do progressive scan witch is just a fancy term for having 720x4080p the P meaning full picture witch some say looked better. MPEG 2 video at 30FPs most DVDs could only have a bitrate of 900 MBPS AAC Dolby Digital or DTS sound usually topping out at 448 KBPS on Dolby and 728 KBPS on DTS with a sound mix of 5.1 DVD had 4.7 GB discs and 8.7 GB disc the 8.7GB discs were called dual layer. Most store bought DVDs were 8.7GB. Recorded media came in DVD -R DVD -RW DVD +R DVD +RW DVD -RDL DVD +RDL also DVD Ram Disc. There were also DVD Mini witch were small 1GB discs that are used for camcorders. Any DVD -R disc not burned in a computer had to be finalized to be played I other players special codes were written to the disc so any other player would read it like a DVD Rom. If your going to go into it go into it.

[@silvervalleystudios2486]

Do you remember way back in 2000 when Universal distributed movies with dedicated DTS only soundtracks and the big DTS logo across the cover. I THINK the DTS on these tracks chewed up a lot of data because they couldnt fit a Dolby track on the disc. But by Christmas there was a breakthrough in compression because Gladiator came out with both Dolby Digital and DTS tracks. Another one was Terminator 2 with Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES each supposedly having an extra channel. That disc was a first of its kind double sided dual layered disc DVD 18. Thanks for triggering some good memories👍

[@starstudio8402]

Blu-ray 4K has some specific af thing’s needed to play on a pc

[@ajzeg01]

I prefer Blu-Ray because of the better-quality sound (I don’t notice much of a difference with the picture on my setup) and the special features. Warner Bros is the only studio I know that is still putting out high-quality DVD releases of new movies. Most other studios don’t include all the special features anymore. I miss that.

[@Nickwilde2295]

Dvd needs to go away

[@2kBofFun]

Funny you state sound, as you can tell the video quality difference from 1km away from your TV, but blindfolded you can't hear the difference. 384kbs Dolby 5.1 or 3 mbit DTS-MA both are 48khz/24 bit at least, and super clear. If there is any difference it might be from going from TV-built-in speakers to a half-baked 3.0 soundbar. With my 2 tower speakers, and 3 full range center/BR/BL speakers and serious AV amp, both discs sound exactly the same to me. Key is a proper center speaker. Once you have that, you won't go back. DVD had a discrete center channel as well.

[@AnotherWatchChannel]

Anything I’m buying it’s Blu-ray. But I’ll keep my DVDs and likely not upgrade them except for my favourites. DVD is still decent but Blu-ray really gives you movie theatre quality.

There are plenty of movies on DVD that look just fine (WWII movies actually look authentic in DVD Black&White). DVDs are regulars at garage sales for a $1. A like new movie for a $1 is less expensive then to rent. Yeah, DVD is going to be around for a long time.

[@updownturnaround543]

I do dvds because there cheaper

[@isakdahl7054]

kanon kongen What is your problem?

[@Kameron-The-Crafter]

I do it for several reasons. 1.Blue Ray's have DRM that requires player to always be updated and hooked to internet. Also them holding more data is there fatal flaw. Because there divits are so small for holding more data. They are extremely vulnerable to scratches. That's why they put a extra layer of protection on them. I learned this the hard way, and had to look up why it would not play with such a little scratch. I found out Blue Ray's will stop after smaller scratches then DVD's. 3. The person is correct you can't get all movies and shows on DVD. The reason is Sony owners them and is very strict who gets licenses to make them. Which also makes them expensive. DVD's on the other hand are open source which are cheaper. 4. Reason for me I don't notice the difference. Most stuff is getting put on blue Ray's which is not real 4k or 1080p

[@Kameron-The-Crafter]

@General Uprising I don't know why. Probably because Sony got control and company's wanted more control over your content.

[@Kameron-The-Crafter]

@General Uprising it is harder to rip blue Ray's. I hear software has to be updated so much just to rip it.

[@Kameron-The-Crafter]

@General Uprising from what I upstand you need a license from Sony. but I've seen Blue ray disk for sale so they probably have a license to sell them. however there a lot more expensive than DVD'S.

[@benkline8996]

I like having both DVD 📀and Blu ray 💿I hope they are around a long time and being that your video was seven years ago that just shows how strong DVD still is 💪the only thing I never seen and hope i never have too is 4k Blu ray what's the point 🤑

[@thejman3489]

I used to buy DVD and Blu-Ray and the DVD was usually upscaled to 1080p so there wasn't much of a difference between the two. Then I hooked up the Blu-Ray player to my soundbar and changed the audio settings on the player to the highest quality. Oh boy there was the difference. Blu-Ray was the clear winner. I never heard my soundbar put out sound like that before. There is no streaming service that will give you sound like that. I always used my soundbar for movies but I just never had it hooked up properly.

[@loveme8777]

Does Blu-ray come in region codes like DVD?

[@eternalhalloween1]

Yes.

[@opaque4742]

Can't argue with the quality question, but the point for collectors is this: each new format ports over a smaller catalog of titles than the one before it. I'd say 1/4 to 1/3 of my DVD's are not available on Blu (few 'blockbusters') so if I upgrade I'll be left with a mish mash of DVD and Blu-ray. Plus, I dislike the combo-packs. Most of the films I'd buy as upgrages on Blu-ray would come with a DVD I already own. Sigh.

[@brianmoore581]

I buy Blu-ray because it's better in every way. I buy DVDs only when there is no choice. There are still many things that aren't yet available on Blu-ray.

[@coloniellizardt4191]

I haven't purchased a DVD in two years now. The only time I mess with DVD these days is through Redbox renting only if there's no Blu-ray option.

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too.

[@ryans413]

It's 2018 and DVDs are still being sold really

[@ninjashep5264]

Personally I usually buy DVD's instead of Blu Rays. Don't get me wrong, if I see a movie in both options for the same price or only $1 - 2 difference I'll buy the Blu Ray. The main reason I still buy DVD's a lot though is because usually I'll walk into a store and see a movie with both options. As an example not too long ago I saw a movie with both a DVD and Blu Ray option. The DVD option was like $11 while the Blu Ray option was like $19, so I ended up going with the DVD. The main issue with Blu Rays that I've experienced is they tend to be close to double the price of DVD's and because of that I just buy DVD because it's cheaper. If Blu Ray lowers their prices, DVD will be a thing of the past. However, until Blu Ray lowers the prices I'll still purchase DVD's because I don't like spending almost double for the same movie.

[@billrobertjoe]

nice job being fooled, 4k is a scam 1080 and 720 is all you need

[@JKSmith-qs2ii]

I buy DVD because there are many shows that never had a source file that was high enough to warrant a Blu-ray upscale. I just watch them on a DVD player attached to a crt like they were meant to be seen (dvd quality that is).

[@dantasticmania8728]

That actually depends on two factors like if one was show was film on tape ,one on film. Most 80s and even 90s tv shows were mostly taped so DVD is absolutely fine when it comes to that.

+Premier Prep Hello there, which is better for older movies (early 2000) Should I purchase a $120 - $200 Blueray player along with those older movies altered with this blue ray format or Will an slightly above average player with a good TV work just fine? Specifically for physical copies of older movies, yet not looking like complete washed out trash?

[@user-qz6xf4uo1v]

+Premier Prep I ask specifically this because I saw a comment saying modern movies made with 1080p and 4k in mind will undoubtedly work well but upscaling older movies might actually look worse.

[@PremierPrep]

Well it depends on whether the movie was shot on film or digital. Which most were shot on film in the early 2000s. Film will most of the time look better on Blu-ray, especially 4K, because you'll be able to see the beautiful detail and grain patterns of the film more clearly at a higher resolution.

[@mattheasboelter5217]

Hi, I haven't seen any of your videos in a while and just came back and saw you got a sponser! That's pretty cool! I feel like you could handle it better though... When you go into an advertisement, it feels very sudden, and it takes a second to adjust. I think it would work better if you had a quick transition of some sort (similar to how film riot does it) to say that the following is separate from what was just seen. The other thing is that there is a lot of advertisement compared to the amount of content in the video. This is something that's probably hard to take care of since you probably have specific things that you have to say for the advertisement, but I would keep it in mind when you're creating the episodes. Also, Blu-ray all the way!!! (I'm in complete agreement that DVD should die, and let Blu-ray take over)

[@PremierPrep]

Glad that you're back! We also have a website now ;-) www.filmworldchannel.com

[@KevinMcMullen.]

Great video I still buy DVD's I also buy Bluray I don't notice a difference when playing them on my TV but then again my TV is 8 years old so that may be why.

[@ShadowTheLight]

I buy blu-ray everything, since I enjoy the quality a lot. Though I make the exeption for anime because the blu-ray is often like $45 while the DVD is closer to $20.

[@mattbradshaw7007]

If you really like the anime you should get the bluray, I absolutely buy all heavy cgi and animated movies on bluray because of the higher resolution of the image, especially if you ever get a projector and have a theater because it then just looks so clear. The thing I get frustrated about is there aren’t a lot of random tv series on bluray, but those are still good. My example would be The North Water or Frankenstein Chronicles.

[@mussim2919]

Dvd still 480p and get scratches easily even you're very careful with it. Blu-ray has more pixels for clarity and better sounds.

[@marcuskryst]

I will always be a DVD guy. I cannot stand the idea of owning a movie collection in 2 different formats. Personally, I haven't seen much difference between the two anyway

I used to have 6,000 movies in VHS, no TV shows. I currently have 3,500 movies, 500 TV Seasons. So, not as many movies, but lots of TV Seasons.

[@jamied.5612]

I always just boil it down to the fact DVDs are mich cheaper and play on dvd players which they already own....and are also cheaper.

[@jamied.5612]

L. W. Yeah, I do prefer buying blu rays but mainly only stuff I really see rewatching a good few times

[@jackdonohue7893]

L. W. Why don’t you like that? It’s easier to play a movie from where you left off, or if you want to start from the beginning.

[@jackdonohue7893]

L. W. But what if you want to go to the main menu instead of starting where you left off? It’s easier then rewinding the entire movie. Also, lots of trailers are good.

Dvd was a massive improvement on vhs. Are you old enough to have seen the birth of bluray and dvd? That would answer your question. Dvd still exists because there is demand for it (globally) Let's also look at cellphones. Why would the older CDMA signal, and the newer LTE signals exist at the same time? Because your grandma doesnt have a note9, thats why

[@MIKUIEL]

Eventually those technologies will die with the people who rely on them sadly

[@Dev-tw1og]

Sir let me explain the super multi drive you see Microsoft wanted to go with a needless format which failed for home Media however the end result was more powerful PC DVD drives that upscale DVD and make Blu-ray quality on double layer disc . Also Amazon hurt the Blu-ray industry which most the demand is on smart phone and tablet computers.

DVD is the obvious choice for enjoying standard definition 4:3 shows on a CRT.

[@eternalhalloween1]

I have a blu ray player. But I still buy regular DVD. Mainly because I prefer the format that will play on my BR Player, my laptop, and my portable DVD player. Being honest, when I bought a combo pack, I can't say I saw much of a difference between the BR and the DVD. Granted, the BR Player was making the DVD look better. But I can't say I saw a huge difference. And I have no intention of replacing my DVDs with the BR equivalent. No. I don't think DVD is going away anytime soon.

[@mikep2589]

I buy Blu-ray. I still have some DVDs of movies that never came out on Blu-ray and tbh they look fine on an upscaling player and my 42" tv.

[@bryanbond3886]

only have moviea on dvd that are not available on blu ray

[@transitengineer]

Well, I grew up with a 19-inch Black and White TV set. So, I am fine watching movies on a VHS tape, a Laser Disk, a DVD, a Blue-Ray DVD, or 4K Disk. What makes me sad is that, I cannot just buy a computer that will let me record to either a Blue-Ray DVD or a 4K HD Disk, right out of the box.

[@coloniellizardt4191]

Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray have Dolby Atmos (layered on Dolby TrueHD) and DTS:X (layered on DTS-HD Master Audio), both which blows boring old lossy 5.1 DVD audio out of the water. 4K Blu-ray has HDR10 and Dolby Vision which makes colors pop out much more than Blu-ray and DVD combined.

[@ajnc78]

DVD have DTS that is much better than Dolby Digital 5.1

[@coloniellizardt4191]

@@ajnc78 Sadly DTS isn't being used on DVDs anymore, these days DVD is just Dolby Digital only.

I like the history lesson. The "Chaplin" bit .. well. But don't forget the wealth of knowledge that this video provides ... no, I don't know the producer "Premier Prep". I am at the juncture where I have looked at my catalogue of DVDs which are a treasure and am wanting to invest in a new player to jack into my HIFI system. My question is, "Is it better to get t a Blue-Ray player to get the best performance from my DVDs?". SImple. Appreciate any feedback that will help. Thanks.

Bottom line here for cinephiles, will The Cabinet of Dr Caligari look better on Blu-Ray or DVD?

[@jeremydrew1227]

It looks FANTASTIC on Blu Ray. It has the most pristine look film can ever have for a 100 year old film. DVD can not do that due to compression and that causes pixelation and digital artifacting.

Just imagine... If all those big tech companies hadnt formed a committee and demanded 1 uniform standard... Piracy might not be possible. Nobody would have been able to upload movies to torrents, or certainly not at such huge volume, if the DVD didnt work on your player, your playstation 2 and your laptop together. A format war could have prevented everything that happened over the last 25 years.

[@aldermanswe392]

I am a collector of DVDs. I have a non-informed feeling it is on it's way out but that wouldn't necessarily be a sad thing. I never buy new releases on dvd so if the production were to stop tomorrow I would still have a life time of collecting dvds released until that point. For the same reason: the quality of the picture isn't a priority for me since it's mostly movies from a time before the HD revolution. But honestly: I never started collecting BRs mainly because of the different look and size of the cover, it made my dvd- shelfs look all messy :D All and all it looks like all kinds of physical media is on it's way out. Streamed media will probably rule them all in the end. But, again, that don't matter much for a collector...as long as we hold on to our units and collections :D

[@cees-gc8xt]

They said that about cassette tape and vinyl........still around and more of collective boutique matter.

[@strawberryswisher.]

With the way streaming services are treating their customers nowadays, physical media will never die out

[@2kBofFun]

@@strawberryswisher. Yes, streaming is becoming garbage. From the 150 BR discs I have, there are 40 available in streaming, on 5 different platforms. When I buy them on Apple I can get quite a bit more, nearly 100 of the titles, but it does not feel good to be dependent on an internet connection to access it. It would really help though if the EU would ban DVD's, that cleans up the physical disc business to a single format to focus on. They made so many mistakes when inventing the DVD, we should quit the garbage format ASAP. They are made for CRT's. Who watches movies on a CRT nowadays? I also see TBP becoming more popular again, as law enforcement on downloading torrents is close to non existent, and streaming service becoming a joke.

[@schecter5035]

Dvd upscaling looks real good especially if you have a bigger tv as well it really competes on my 65” TV, they look better than Netflix

[@rutgerbauer4345]

Sounds like that may be due to your network connection. If your connection is weak, Netflix reduces the resolution and bitrate - in some cases to SD and bitrates below 1000 which naturally can't compete with a DVD since their bitrates are rarely below 5000. By the way, I've compared several movies on both formats on my 49" TV and Blu-ray always outclasses DVD.

When you can get a Blu-ray player at Goodwill for $15-$20, I don't see any reason to buy a DVD player. The movies, only if not available on Blu-ray. Of course, if it is on HD DVD, I'd buy that, rip it and convert it to play in my Blu-ray player :)

Dvd are only good for older movies such as early 90s 80s 70s to me they look ok on Blu ray remastering It's not the same. Those older movies were filmed in different formats and resolutions.
