Funnily enough the format war is why I know about it, since I decided to do a good long look into the pros and cons of each format, especially in terms of backwards compatibility and format support. HD DVD actually had an advantage in that regard: Blu-Ray only supports 480p and up, whereas HD DVD mandated support for damn near every resolution used by an existing disc-based format (VCD, SVCD) from 240p up. HD DVD players were also supposed to support content burned to CDs as well, meaning you could fit a fair chunk of lower resolution highly compressed HD DVD content on a CD and have it play in any HD DVD player, with subtitles and the like even.

Not really that relevant now obviously, but at the time I was kinda bummed that HD DVD didn't win the format war.

I trust Oracle... to find a way to charge me an arm and a leg and a spleen for basic functionality.

Combs can carry a show so hard. Imagine if they'd actually gotten to that 5th season of Enterprise with Shran as a main cast member. The show might still be on the air.

Yeah, there were even efforts to make factory-pressed "BD9" BluRay-on-DVD discs a mass produced cheaper alternative when BluRay was being launched, though it never actually went anywhere. They kept the format though just because it made sense to give people a way to make home media without having to spend an arm and a leg on blank discs.

That said, the "requirement" for players to support BD5/BD9 has been dropped as of a few years ago, not that all of them did in the first place. Most players still support it, but you can't count on it.

If you have a BluRay player most will read BluRay content burned to a DVD (a.k.a. BD5), and others will do AVCHD (a related but more simple format). You'll be much more limited in terms of space obviously, but you can still put video on there at far better than DVD quality.

Also if you're like me and have a rotating set of games you install and uninstall, you can copy installation backups to a series of DVDs. Steam even has a built-in option to break installation backup files into 4.3 gig files specifically for burning to DVD.

The lemmy.world admins blocked a bunch of piracy communities from federating with their instance seemingly out of nowhere: no legal threats, no DMCA notices, no apparent consequences if they don't.

I think lemmy.world is about to be rudely made aware of how many pirates were on their site.

Wow. Well here I was wondering if I should stick with kbin or switch back to lemmy.world. Guess this makes the decision for me.

I feel like that might trigger an anti-trust lawsuit somewhere.
