M3AN 4016 Report post Posted March 26, 2023 Still got a standard definition rig in the man cave? Grab some sci-fi and action flicks before I put them on Trademe for pennies on the pound. $5 each individually, much less in bulk, and feel free to make a cheeky offer! Star Wars Original Trilogy Boxset w/Bonus Disc Star Wars Episodes II & III Matrix Original Trilogy Top Gun (Original) Kill Bill Volume II Predator Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (Director's Edition) Casino Royale Blade I have literally 100's more DVD's so if you're seriously into that format let me know, it might be worth a discussion.

Olaf 3314 Report post Posted May 17, 2023 Still good with a decent upscaling player. I run a Pioneer LX500 and am consistently surprised at how well it renders DVD from 1080P up to 4K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I'll be keeping some in DVD format, many don't need state of the art 4K and in some cases, they may never be released in 4K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3314 Report post Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) interesting how the convenience and acceptableness of 4k streaming boxes like Apple TV 4K etc (or even apps in TV) and an internet connection have displaced optical media. hell, a good 4K BluRay pisses all over anything you can stream from the likes of Amazon Prime/Netflix/Disney+ over a decent internet connection - visually and audibly. EDIT - sorry getting a bit off-topic on your for sale listing!! Edited May 23, 2023 by Olaf apology Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted May 24, 2023 Ah, no worries Olaf, it's a free bump for an obscure thread, my post history will confirm I'm not so prissy about strict forum discipline... it's the internet after all! Nevertheless, I totally agree with you... I'm building out my physical 4K collection and the HD audio tracks themselves occasionally have a higher bitrate that streaming 4K video+audio!! That's a crazy difference... 6mb/s audio + 80mb/s video off disc, compared to 5-8mb/s audio+video off Disney+ (and they're one of the better ones!). It does however go to show just how good compression, especially HEVC, is these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can still look really good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
