I was watching Cinemassacre's video where he talks about how dvd is better than blu ray:
But I find myself disagreeing with him though.
His number 10 reason is that dvds have much better menus in the past.* Better because they are bigger, longer and will be it's own little mini movie on it's own as it loads.* But that is why I hated dvd menus.* They took way too long to load, and were pretentious and gimmicky, aside from a few great ones, almost all of them I thought,*were just a drag to have wait for the loading to be over.Blu rays have quick menus that cut to the chase, and that's all you need.
Number 9 I agree with him on, as it seems more movies on blu ray have less special features compared to on the DVD.* Not sure if this is true for all movies, but Braveheart for example, the DVD special feature are much better, compared to when I bought it on blu ray later.
Number 8, the blu ray takes up either to little or too much space.* I never had this problem, so I guess it depends on what movies you want.
Number 7, he says that blu rays harder to get out of the cases.* I disagree with this cause some DVDs had weird sleeves as well, and I think both DVD and blu ray, both have an equal amount of that problem, from what I've seen.
Number 6, reconfiguring buttons.* I have never had a problem with blu ray remotes and they are just as easy for me to understand the button as a dvd remote.* What is he talking about?* I guess if you want to play a blu ray in a PS3 you're screwed, but why not just use a blu ray player instead of a PS3?
Number 5 is a big one because he mentioned software updates.* I have never needed a software update to play a blu ray ever.* I bought my blu ray player back in 2011, and I just bought Parasite (2019), recently, and it played on it perfectly fine.* What software updates is he talking about?* I've never had this problem.
Number 4 is there is less blu ray options of what to buy, because Sony owns it all, but I think there could be legal ways around that though, couldn't there?
For example, he used exercise videos on VHS for example, but less on blu ray.* Well if someone wanted to sell an exercise video, on a 1080p disc, just don't call it "blu ray" on the product, and isn't your problem solved?
Number 3, I'm not going to comment on
Number 2, He says blu rays are worse, cause it's hard to bookmark where you are and it will often start all over again.* I've never had a problem on my blu ray player a panasonic, which always book marks the spot.* Is Panasonic perhaps better for this?* But I've never had that problem, compared to DVD.
Number 1 is too many trailers.* This may be true, for some discs but other discs it's not so bad.* It's so so.
But I find I haven't had near as many problems as a good amount of the points as he has had.* Am I one of the lucky ones?
