Still got mine!

CCMan1701A ,

Same, but it’s holding blurays

breathless_RACEHORSE ,

Got three of those monster sized books–

One each movies, music, and software. Plus two shelves of blurays and a further three old spindles of software.

You can pry my physical media out of my cold, dead, hand.

Trarmp ,

Archeologists will.

TheWanderer ,

Me too! Most of em are movies and some of em are OS copies of windows and Linux

Pyrozo007 ,

Filled a couple of these with 10p DVDs from charity shops and it’s low-key amazing

BelieveRevolt ,

Honestly don’t remember anyone using these for DVDs. They were for (MP3) CDs and burned PS1 games.

Rai ,

Burned Dreamcast games too! It had no copy protection, so you could just download Ikaruga or a bunch of NES or Gameboy ROMs and play them with no modifications.

BelieveRevolt ,

The DC did have copy protection, it would’ve made no sense to release a disc-based console in the late 90s without it considering CD burners were becoming ubiquitous (some early CD-based consoles like Sega CD didn’t have copy protection because nobody really had the means to write CDs at home). Sega believed their proprietary GD-ROM format would prevent piracy, but ironically it was another format called MIL-CD Sega introduced with the DC that allowed it to be exploited and cracked games to be run without the need to modify the console. Info here.

Rai ,

Am I remembering it wrong? I was huge on DCEmulation back in the early 2000s. Also I’m too lazy to read that link. I recall having to burn a weird music track… partition? To have my CD read. But I was able to play NEA/GB/SNES (with frameskip, unfortunately) and the only way my young broke butt could play Ikaruga was to pirate it and burn it to a CD.

We have maybe 4 or 5 of these babies loaded with dvds and TV series. We basically lived so rural we couldn’t stream for years at our old place. But we did have dvds and used these cases since we could haul them from the bedroom to the living room or basement depending what our plan was.

Now we’re lucky enough to have starlink (yes, initiate the Musk circlejerk) and we still sometimes will go through the albums and watch dvds occasionally.

until i figured out i could rip them to mp3s and put them on a stick. usb plugs on car stereo was a revolution

Jok3r ,

Only to find out later that 128kbits doesn’t quite cut it and have to restart the process

@m3t00@lemmy.world avatar

Gmusic would let you upload 128 and dowdload w/e their default was, 256kb? i’ve got thousands …google.com/…/1hMU9Pc2bQADGj76FNb7ZovgoU7vMXVvS?u…

Yep, first did my entire cd collection to 256k ogg vorbis files. Then went back and reripped them to flac, used musicbrainz Picard to tag everything and just did conversations to mp3 so my car stereo could play them.

Now I’m about to go back through my dvd/blueray collection and do full rips without transcoding.

Globulart ,

How would one go about doing this? I’ve been maintaining my bluray collection because I want my favourite films always available but I haven’t tried to rip anything in over a decade and I think I did it badly even then.

A software recommendation would be brilliant. Cheers.

MakeMKV is what I’ve been using.

If you want to rip 4k blueray you have to do a bit more work, like buying one of a few specific drives, and possibly flash open source firmware on it.

Globulart ,

1080p is fine for me. That’s great, thanks mate :)

@Kultronx@lemmygrad.ml avatar

i never cared for these, I feel like they scratched the discs faster than leaving them in the cases

datelmd5sum ,

yeah but discs were a lot cheaper if you bought them in bulk without the cases.

Actually I just started doing this and got a 7 DVD changer. Same as what I spend in a month for all these random streaming services.

@hal_5700X@lemmy.world avatar

Still do due to bad packaging of DVDs and Blu-rays.

I have an entire room full of DVDs

ohlaph ,

That’s a lot. 8 Stops 7?

I still have like three of those but haven't looked inside them for at least a few years. Last time was when I needed my Windows disc that I only out of habit put in there in the first place. I just use USB sticks neow~

TrustingZebra ,

I still have my old games case. I sometimes browse through it just for the nostalgia. Even just looking at the discs brings memories.

son_named_bort ,

That’s where I kept my PlayStation games.

ipkpjersi ,

I know I’m getting old because that sounds normal to me.
