Let’s talk about media collections: How do you keep your library of your favorite movies and TV shows? (beehaw.org)

I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

I started getting into Blu-rays of favourite shows and films a while ago, recently made the switch to 4K UHD discs as well with my external 4K reader. Ever since the fragmentation of streaming services compared to music, I've started buying those Blu-rays to keep them in my collection for whenever I wanna watch them.

I tend to make a back-up copy of my discs to watch it through any device for flexibility. Especially as that's my way of enjoying 4K films on my 4K TV at the moment. HDR colouring definitely wow'd me when trying my first 4K disc. Not regretting it so far. 👍
