Holy fuck what third world country are you from? India, usa? jesus. 2005 already had high standards for most movies, hell it was a few years before br
>>68752526
It was important for consumers to fund the emerging technology
>>68753311
Yes, that is why I used 2005 as a cutoff. Some DVDs from the mid to late 90s sucked balls, especially releases of older movies.

I don't even know what that means.

Game of Thrones BDs are the worse BDs ever to made to date...that I'm aware of. They load your player's memory with so much shit that nearly everytime you hit stop, you have to start the BD all over again from the beginning because it will not index, there's no room. And fuck the languages warnings about copyright and piracy at the end of each disc is fucking absurd. There's at least 40 of them.

lol wut?
You have to explain this device in more detail.
>>68755367
It's pretty simple. He basically just took out the motor of a vcr and made it go really fast. He tried to file a patent but couldn't obviously.
He sunk about 30k into this venture. Lost all of his friends.
>>68755435
Not my comment.
>>68755367
It was a pretty simple device from what I remember, just two spools that, one that went really fast the other was lockable.
I was young so can't remember exactly all I know is that the tape couldn't take the speed.
>>68755480
>pretending to be me
What do you gain from this?
>>68752449
>awful mini game(s) you play with a DVD remote
>>68755480
I'm more prone to believing this guy.
>>68755435
His was too dramatic.
>>68755435
>>68755480
>>68755550
i believe the 30k guy
All my vcr tapes looked like shit already when I stopped using them so I threw most of them out, along with the vcr. Going through stacks upon stacks I come upon an unopened Blade Runner. How would it look if I bought a VCR player? does it degrade only upon repeated plays, or just over time no matter if you've ever played it or not?
>>68755435
>>68755480
why are you pretending to be me?
it's me, the REAL guy whose dad destroyed his favorite VHS tape of various motor sports crashes
boy do i still feel sore about that one
>>68752492
Really? All the interactive menus are gone?
No outtakes, trailers or anything?
Glad I never fell for that bluray sham
>>68755593
I find the more dramatic something sounds the more likely it is to be true.
>>68755435
Why would he lost his friends? Unless they were bisnes partners, or something.
>>68755636
If the tape has been kept in good conditions, away from heat, moisture, etc, then it should be pretty prestine.
>>68755636
bruh you just found a treasure chest.
sell that bitch for at least $5
>>68755259
>dad "invented" a VHS fast rewinder
I immediately knew where this was going and instantly started laughing my ass off.
>torn apart in 2.5 seconds
>>68755723
It still has the wrapper. No moisture or heat (above room temp I guess) has ever gone near it. It was in a cabinet with all the other movies.
>>68755435
Was this before or after he invented Bulletball?

jesus...
Anyone remember the special features and games from Elf? That DVD was the shit
>>68753992
It's like a documentary.
>>68755823
That's just fucking sad. Even if it's a dumb idea the guy had a dream and poured everything he had into making it a reality, and he watched it never leave the runway.
Would you rather have this?
It's from the very very first DVDs ever produced
>>68754544
>And fuck the languages warnings about copyright and piracy at the end of each disc is fucking absurd. There's at least 40 of them.
Fuck Warner Brothers for doing this to me every fucking time
>>68756359
Anyone else remember Infinifilm?
New Line really tried to force that in the early 2000s
>>68755823
I just found this guy's YouTube channel. His last upload was 10 months ago but he's still trying to make Bullet Ball happen
>>68756450
Thats, thats.............. Is Wonderful
>>68756450
I've got one of those, it's in this weird cardboard and plastic case

They moved all the features to blu ray and dvds are just the movies now. Blu ray went down in price a lot.
You forgot Easter eggs hidden on DVDs as well. Some work was really put into some of those.

What even is this 'blue ray' meme? Does everyone own a bluray machine now?
>>68755823
Kinda disappointing desu, with a name like Bulletball I was expecting something more ridiculous than what it was
>modern day dvd

>dvd menu has mini game

Jesus, my sides were already gone at the half of your greentext.
>>68755550
This is an anonymous imageboard. There are no identities, there is no you. We are a hive, an amalgamation of millions of lives, experiences, and memes. If your dad invented a fast rewinder that destroyed your favorite VHS tape, then so did mine.
I haven't bought a dvd in a decade. What special features do they typically come with now?
>>68752449
>tfw some older dvds have more extras than their modern equivalents
Why is this allowed?
Is it the studios trying to segregate sales between normal and special editions to get more money out of us?
>>68761015
trailers for other movies
>>68761015
see>>68760675
Most Blu-rays come with a DVD and a digital copy code nowadays.
>>68753992
I did the same thing with the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I was obsessed with it as a youngster for some reason.
>>68753703
>poorly done CGI intro leading to the animated menu
>>68753824
It's an Audio Commentary track with Brendan Frasier :^)
>ftw he says "Bye for now" at the end and you realize that is the last commentary he ever did, as he relived the best year of his life next to pretty Rachel Weisz before the alimony stress got to him ;_;
Criterion Collection is where it's at. They go above and beyond when it comes to special features.
>>68761258
They should cancel all DVDs and just make Blu Rays which come with an extra DVD disc.
>I hate when I see people buying the DVD edition like my friend did of a film and complained due to no special features
He's a cheap pleb who didn't wanna spend an extra $10
>It's a "watch the complete making of a film series from pre production - post production" episode

>>68755259
our rewinder was shaped like a racecar and one time our copy of indiana jones and the last crusade snapped and i just opened the case and fixed it with a piece of scotch tape and wound it back up with a pencil
My father did a joke of inventing a bluray rewinder. He just attached a disc on a Dremel. Ofcourse it shattered to pieces, I am now blind in one eye, and will forever have shrapnel from Waterworld stuck in my skull.
>>68752658
I just got a new version of Spaceballs after dusting off my old DVD from 2000. Same deal. Had to full screen it, and it still looked off.
God damn, I've been spoiled by high definition video.
