On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Linus Tech Tips - How to rip blurays/4K discs to your own server and reencode then if you want to, the history of copy protection and the benefits of physical media. Quite interesting.

Too bad consumer Blu-Ray is no longer in production

As far as I know Blu-ray is still being produced Sony just stopped making base media.

That sounds like consumer BRD disks not what businesses buy to produce copies of a new movie they are releasing.

That's just recordable Blu-rays, for the 5 people that have a Blu-ray writer. Nobody uses them, USB drives are far more convenient and can be bigger anyway.

Normal Blu-rays are not going anywhere.

Pressed discs are alive and well. Sony has been outsourcing Blu-ray manufacturing for years anyway, so the recent announcement changed nothing. BD-Rs are probably on life support, though.
