Optical media lost the media war.

>>106220051
Nope it hit a temporary setback. But it has incredible potential, because you can make a tiny laser spot even smaller than you can make a tiny magnetic field. It will make a comeback.

>>106220156
usecase for optical when hard drives exist?

>>106220276
Delivery of high quality content to fill those hard drives with.

>>106220276
Better DAC than your computer is likely to have, with pic related. The playback is liquid smooth with an adjustable fast or slow filter, to suit your preference.

>>106220368
all dacs are transparent so that is a non issue

Why did they never use DVDs for music distribution? You can fit like half a dozen albums on a single disc

>>106220600
They did but they put single albums on them either with high resolution (meme) or multi channel formats.

>>106220600

they did but was pretty shit compared music vhs

>>106219904 (OP)
It didn't have any competition

I would like that more than anyone but it really won't.

>>106219904 (OP)
isn't DVD max 480p resolution?

>>106221570
Yes but I think it's usually 480i which makes it worse.

>>106221639
576i still looks like shit.

>losslessly rips and remuxes your DVD/Bluray
ok now what

>>106221680

maybe contrast is on high side but is like beautyfilter

>>106220156
digital
yeah dude, temporary setback
just ignore that it's easier to just upload the file and let the customer download it rather than making both parties put up with the slowness and costs of physical distribution

>>106221852
If only they would let us download DRM free files. DVD DRM is so weak it might as well not exist.

>>106220276
optical backups last 30+ years. hard drives last 5 years if you're lucky.
