I personally own a lot of dvd's and blurays, but it's been a while since I actually watch them in that format.

I just rip the disc to my harddrive, demux/convert what i want (usually just the main audio to flac), then remux to mkv and store the result (video + audio + eng subs + commentary tracks). Then just watch in kodi/plex.

Dealing with the actual discs etc seems just weird, neither dvd nor bluray as a media was never any fun to use. Using a remuxed copy of a tv series i'd be half way through an episode by the time the trailers and fbi warnings stopped playing on the disc version.

I had probably 400 DVDs and i never started with BluRay.

Not because of the cost, i can afford what i like to watch, but having to buy the physical copy, which i would rip and put on my storage system and than would probably need to store or throw away, sucks.

Why can't i just buy a digital BluRay? Like yes i can do whatever i want with it :|

Yes i know people would copy those asap but still AARGH...

If you're really rich, you can. Kalaidescope. But the studios really fought them hard on that.

There's also a whole section about their experience installing systems on yachts!

“Kaleidescape” seems to be the exact name, for anyone who got confused like I did here.

Isn't it the exactly same situation for DVDs? Why does it stop you buying BDs but not DVDs?

I had 400 DVDs and thats why i never started buying BDs because i had those issues already with DVDs.
