Anyone noticed that streaming services start to compromise on quality? With Netflix it's been like that for a while. Apple TV+ seems to be the best. I really want to get into Blu-ray now, looking for a decent player.
I would describe Disney as barely 720p when used in any web browser.

Netflix is "4K Ultra HD: Up to 7 GB per hour". Blu ray is 25GB per side, so max 50GB for 2 layers. Typical movies are 35-50GB. So, BR, and think even DVD still looks much better than any streaming service!
We’re going to have to disagree about DVDs though. They look awful on modern (big) televisions.
I’m sorry, but could someone please elaborate on the significance of this post?
What's the relevance of this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Life is great on the high seas. I've spent nearly 16 years "Passing the Popcorn" and couldn't be happier.
Question: what's the streaming budget for the big platforms? Can they offer 50-100 mbps? For example, a 70 gb video for a 2.5 hour movie would need 67 mbps to stream. Having access to a rip like that for a popular movie (meaning new or classic) is normal "on the high seas" and it has a detectable difference on my budget-tier setup compared to a ~20 gb rip. I'm wondering if streaming platforms can afford to offer some…

It beautifully captures the golden age.

Are pressed Blu-Rays limited compared to writeable ones?
I have 100GB BDXL blanks (single-sided) I use as one of the archives for my family photos/videos.
Couldn't a film BluRay also be 100GB on a single side?
Great movie! So many big named actors in it! The director also did Field of Dreams!
I'm not a fan of baseball, but I liked Field of Dreams (at the age I was back when it would have made it to Australian TV).
