    That was before 4k streaming. One of those “you don’t know better” things.

    I owned 1600 DVDs at my peak. And literally just watched one a few hours ago and the picture quality is a bit shit to be honest. Especially the subtitles look janky as fuck because they’re not text but images, pixelated images.

    I’m currently slowly upgrading The Good Ones to Blu-ray and the Really Good Ones to 4k BD

    But only the ones I know I want to watch in 10, 20 or 30 years. As long as I have the media and a compatible player no company can tell me I can’t watch it.

      You can download subtitles online that are text based and mux them into a DVD rip if you want them to look good. Some players like KODI can even be set to automatically download and use the subtitles.
