Aren't physical 4k Blu-rays still DRMd? When every part of the chain is digital your physical disc is still only as good as the will of Sony or whoever really owns it.
Not with appropriate softwarre...
True. I've certainly scoped out blu ray players of a particular vintage for those reasons. Just crazy we have to reach back in time to attempt to get around a trap that the vast majority of consumers don't see.
Yes but there are ways around it I'm sure. Au least they aren't going to come take it from you like they can with digital media
Just passively take it from you. Not saying physical is pointless at all, but physical discs and their players haven't stood still technologically either. If anything, streaming and discs converged.
Simply considering the fragile nature of a disc and the parade of new formats puts a clock on your time with it.
