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

MODERATORS
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.
Man, they made Jaws 10?
