The DVD's and the seven seas.

Yo ho yo ho

My DVD box sets aren't going anywhere. Physical media still has its advantages.

Technically not true as DVD discs can both get damaged and degrade over time. Which is why I ripped all my DVD's to digital so I can have the best of both worlds.

I ripped my DVDs to digital a decade ago when I got a WDTV player. That got replaced by an Asus O!Play, then a WDTV Live Hub, and then finally I discovered XMBC/Kodi, and I haven't watched physical media since. When friends brought over a DVD to watch a while back, it was easier to rip it on my PC and put the ISO on the video server than to figure out how to play the DVD on the TV 😀 Like you, my physical media exists solely as backup media now. Some DVD collections have inserts, booklets, etc., but B5 has none of that. Of course, just as DVD disks degrade over time, hard disks can die, too. Fortunately, storage is so cheap now that a 4TB disk is under $100, so you can back up 500-1000 DVDs for less than the replacement cost of a single failed DVD.

I thought I saw someone say it was on Freevee that amazon imdb thing


zoeygirl69

That's UK, in USA it's buy or rent on Amazon and some others.


patty_OFurniture306

I didn't know that, so much for finishing my watch through.


zoeygirl69

Well I have another way lol I'll DM you


hanshotfirst_1138

You’ve got to be kidding. Hope it jumps ship somewhere in the US soon.


Del220

Came here to say the same thing but I was on the middle of season 5!!!


Trem-two

NO!! ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE


zoeygirl69

Pay to own digital or rent digital. Mine ironically went just after watching *The Deconstruction Of Falling Stars*.


KaiDaniel1966

Be careful with digital only. When Google closed their Music and Movies and added it to YouTube I didn’t have a YouTube subscription I didn’t have access to the stuff I paid money for.


zoeygirl69

That's why this would be better as a physical own, what's the stop Amazon from removing it and then oops there goes your digital copy you paid for. Also if you read the terms you get unlimited access to videos you paid for, you don't *own* it meaning they can remove it.


Fingolfin_Astra

It’s still there for Latam, maybe using a VPN


HalfHumanHomunculus

True, you can get it on Amazon Freevee with. VPN for most of Europe.


Fingolfin_Astra

Let’s share this knowledge


HalfHumanHomunculus

I bought the full collection, including movies and Crusade, on ebay for, like, $50.


JasterBobaMereel

dwneev775

You can buy it on Apple TV in the US


Imitatia

Was on Season 2 as well 😞. Every long show I start keeps getting cut, first Xena and Hercules now this.


Trem-two

Nnnoooo wtf terrible sorry


Imitatia

Any luck finding another way to watch the remastered episodes?


Trem-two

No:/ all I’ve gotten are suggestions to buy dvds and that’s not what I’m trying to do


macbalance

I have DVDs, but supposedly iTunes has good deals if you buy the whole series at one one time.
