So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

    1080p movies can be encoded down to < 3 GB

    kinda nice to just pop a disc in the bluray player and know that you won’t be shown ads, recommendations for the latest capeshit, or be upsold to the next tier… just the movie and nothing else

      Back in the day, I ripped sooooo many DVDs. There was something magical about popping it in and getting the always-kind-of-slow DVD menu, occasionally with various fun extras. And it was extra magical that you could have perfectly functional duplicates.
