> Yeah, but DVDs have horrible picture quality, at lousy 480p resolution.
It is 720p. And the image quality is much better than Netflix's HD. I tried to look at Valerian on Netflix. The colours were so bad that i decided to look at the DVD instead. Sound on Netflix is terrible.
As the other poster noted, the vast majority of DVDs are 480p, not 720p. DVDs don't have enough capacity for higher resolutions for full-length movies.
On the high seas, you can easily get 720p, 1080p, and frequently 2160p versions of everything, with extremely high-quality multi-channel audio, usually in either h.264 or x.265 codecs, and at a variety of bitrates (in case that 50GB 4k BD rip is too much for you).
