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.

Warner Bros, the same ones who made the DVDs that rotted on the shelf? That Warner Bros?

WB clearly cut corners and deserves critique, but it's important to know that no digital storage is eternal - it will all go bad at some point. The only practical solution atm is to routinely transfer the data to fresh storage.

That's true, and you're completely right. It's also 100% an argument against DRM, but also: https://www.avclub.com/warner-bros-replacing-disc-rot-dvd

I mean, that's still pretty awful :D
