disc rot is a serious problem. In 2014 I spent over a year archiving old magazine CDs & DVDs from the 90s to early 2000s. I also went through home-burnt CDs. Of the 200 or so professionally printed CD/DVDs about 5 were completely unreadable, around 20 were damaged and only partially extractable as zip dumps and the rest were slowly on their way out, as reading speed got really bad. The home made CDs from the late 90s+ had a much higher failure rate. I've been slowly uploading that stuff to the Internet Archive. If I were to check on those old CDs again today, there would be at least 30% unreadable. Honestly, archiving old media is the most thankless shit anyone can do, sometimes I wonder why I even bother. All you ever do is give material to some future zoomer (or whatever comes after) shithead, so he can make videos for free monies.

>>213635783
Thank you for your service, anon. I for one appreciate it.

>>213634377
Yeah because that'd definitely be my first thought if I saw my house like this, my dvd collection

If he buys the pizza and I can get blacked out drunk and talk during the entire film I would watch movies with him every weekend and he can choose

>>213635783
You're doing it because it you know it needs to be done.
Thank you for your service o7

My gf works for an archiving service and richfags pay to have their media collections digitized. Whatever they digitize also gets uploaded to online archives, mainly the internet archive. There's a lot of really obscure shit. Records and film reels from the 30's. Most recently they were digitizing a collection of film from a parks service and it was hours and hours and videos of trail repair.

>>213634377
If you're the kind of fag to have a "DVD collection", you bet.

I’ll watch something else or find it online. Have fun reorganizing your collection again.

>>213635783
Thank you for your service, in the 90s early 00s the attitude was
>le World Wide Web is forever!
So preservation wasn’t high priority. Even in the Napster era it seemed like everything would always be available for free imstant download, and file sharing sites would keep it all alive.

>>213637180

is netflix still needed these days

>>213638443
They didn't, we couldn't keep sharing as a minimal basic principle of the internet

>>213638727
If 2020 wasn’t a huge boost to restore lost media it’s never going to happen. Everybody cleaned out their shit and found old VHS/dvds

>>213638443
hard drive space was very expensive back then, it just wasn't feasible for the average user

>>213638764
So we all burned DVDs

>>213638759
But no vhs players, I know I have a percentage of my entire town ones

Top guy should an hero.
DVD guy should lose some weight; then rip a few copies of his collection to some HDDs before donating the discs to some old folks home, library, and/or landfill where they belong.

>>213638978
Am gonna expand the landfill just in case

>>213635783
I got vhs tapes with shit recorded on it from the 90s that still work, I don't believe in propaganda rot

I love being a collectorchad and never falling for the digital jew like a lot of poorfags who can't afford the shelf space or the home to accommodate it so they cope with
>l-le disc rot
>m-muh housefire!
One is easily solved by simply ripping your retail blu-ray discs onto new discs that last longer like M-Discs and the other problem is solved by simply not being an idiot or if you can afford it paying for 3rd party cloud storage

Although if we're being honest disc rot is usually overblown by morons who take poor care of them and keep their discs in damp basements/attics or leave them open to direct sunlight which heats up the discs inside the case over time and melts the glue or shit like that. They never tell you it was their fault either so you shouldn't trust anyone online who claims disc rot is an issue least of all on 4chan where anons lie and troll constantly

>>213634377
For some reason i clicked a video on youtube where some crackhead looking guy was upset because birds had got into his retro gaming room and destroyed fucking everything, these things do happen. that said, the likelihood seems higher than someone with a lot of time on their hands finds something they dislike about your favourite film and make it their life's mission to get it deleted from existence.

>>213634377
Why don't internet retards know what insurance is? Are you all literally children?

>>213640040

No it doesn't happen

Llamas sounded to ridiculous

OH SHIT A DISK ROT JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE!

Its going to be amazing when in 10 to 20 years there's going to be a PROLIFIC section of Youtube, R*ddit, 4chan and so on thats going to be dedicated to finding lost media because the amount of Lost media thats getting created now a days is insane. Some of the older proto Youtubers have had whole channels lost to the void and certain streaming releases that never got a physical copy

>>213640609
Why wait

Where is that inspector gadget video

>>213636157
kek

I'm coming to believe the original Utopia was quietly deleted everywhere as a sort of meta artistic statement given its about government conspiracies hidden in lost media. In this case a global pandemic and vaccination policies, nothing you'd recognise.

I've never met a movie collector before. Everyone I know just uses streaming. It's so weird too because I'll go over to someone's house and the TV has motion smoothing, they say "I just watch whatever" and they don't even know what a torrent is. Suppose you have a huge media archive in the future, will people even be sentient enough to know or care at that point?

>>213640828
That's why they rushed out a remake too. To further obfuscate it.

>>213634115 (OP)
i feel like this guy is trying to lure people into his home and do some weird stuff

>>213640847
I knew a movie collector before, he was a cripple with half his brain missing and his arm not functioning. One day he starts raging and severely insults me and friends and that was the end of it.

>>213636788

>hours and hours and videos of trail repair.

Sounds relaxing and kino to watch

>>213640902
if he tried anything you could just lightly shove him and he'll fall over forever.

>>213640932

They get some interesting stuff. One collection was old records of sound effects for radio shows. Another was "coon tunes", which are comedic racist songs. Think like an early 20th century moonman.

There are several movies called Utopia. I am interested in watching the one on your screenshot. Do you have a link?

I don't care if streaming takes down a movie/series, I don't like it but I understand it. I just pay for a service to "watch" content, it's not mine they can take it away, fair enough. Now then what really gets me, for games on PC (and consoles soon) you """buy a game""", each game individually, for your chosen platform. They can take your shit away at any time they goddamn please for any reason. Even for non-DRM unless you physically have it saved on a drive if it goes down cause the company implodes or whatever it's all over. Digital games are a nightmare from the future.

>>213639553
disk rot happens to SEALED MOVIES.
how do you explain that?
this guy on YouTube showed how some sealed movies from 2000 to 2010 had disk rot inside.

it's because of the factory and the material used

>>213641484
We told anon that anything that killed pirating would kill the actual content as well

Imagine how many movies we have now because mexicans bootleged them b4 the paramount studios fire

>>213641444
It's a show.

>>213641108
retard, you know this fag has his DVD player hooked up to a shoddy LCD screen. Don't even pretend otherwise.

>>213641562
studios will probably rather have their catalog burn to the ground than let people pirate them.

>>213641974
We know is the same with real state and the last chips in the bottom of the bag

Regardless petty pricks don't work much and anon who wants to pirate everything never rests

>>213634115 (OP)
Any argument made by someone as heinously fat as that is instantly wrong.

>>213642069
Fat op think you are not retard

disk rot had nothing to do with a dirty house or bad hygiene.
it's the factory. it's the manufacturing process

>>213641531
That is true I remember not long ago it was discovered that any BD manufactured in the US by Warner Bros. between 2006-2009 are prone to disc rot because they were made poorly. This doesn't concern every single manufacturer though and is just very unfortunate. You shouldn't buy physical media in the US anyway because they closed down all the plants and moved production over to Mexico where they have no quality control so you get scratched discs all the time. In the EU the pressing plant is in Germany and they have standards they follow. The real issue is corpos having to do that shit to save money because the market for physical media is miniscule today compared to 15 years ago and Sony has also stopped producing blu-ray discs altogether, even as Hollywood is regretting they bet it all on streaming that they see no profit from compared to the days of rentals.

However, even sealed discs can still suffer from improper storage. I bought a sealed US Wii game from 2007 a few years ago and it has spots all over the disc. I could/can still use it just fine though and it hasn't deteriorated either so it might not be actual disc rot but if it isn't then I don't know what it could be since they aren't scratches.

>>213642730
Watching blurays requires an extra device the bluray is an extra device, is not streaming is the fact that you can't store the movie once you paid

as long as Russian streaming sites exist I'm golden. I love this little guy

>>213642959
Don't they turn the internet off in Russia on a regular basis now? If you can download what you want in the three hours a day it's active then good luck to you.

>>213636788
>>213635783 I like you frens I have honestly watched tons of stuff off Internet Archive, and also I found things like Bluepoint or something like that that is archiving flash games they're up to 30,000 last I checked. Also cant forget about Frank Civaldi and crew that are doing great stuff

I talked about it in another thread I believe it was /VR where they were talking about harddrives and torrenting I had said I had trouble filling just a 1TB HD took a peek at /T and I have no idea where to start

>>213644203
>said I had trouble filling just a 1TB HD
The real storage hog is high definition video. VR videos are regularly 20gb+ I have a couple of TV shows that are 300+ gb. New games are getting pretty bad too.
