You know they still make DVD players, right? Sony will sell you one for a whole 40 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-DVPSR510H-Player-HDMI-Upscaling/...

And blu-ray players are under $100 now.

Physical media still has a lot going for it. High bitrate video which cannot be taken away from you, and doesn't require you to be online.
