Maybe I'm wrong. But DVDs don't offer HD resolution. It's strange that they are still popular.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As stated in a previous thread, there are lots of reasons why DVDs are still popular today:

  • Unawareness of, or indifference to, DVDs' subpar video/audio quality.
  • For most people, DVDs "just work".
  • Studios and manufacturers did a poor job of educating the public about the different formats.
  • Streaming/digital is too convenient for the public to consider physical media.
  • People are unable/unwilling to upgrade their tech.

Also price. DVD can be had pretty cheaply.
