It wasn’t so long ago that DVDs were the new, hip media innovation, the standard-bearer of a brave new world of home entertainment
that would banish antiquated formats like VHS and CD into obsolescence alongside the eight-track and Betamax.
DVD’s day in the sun was relatively short-lived with the advent of the Blu-ray Disc. Blu-ray handily dispatched its most direct competitor, HD-DVD. Surprisingly, the humble DVD survived the Blu-ray onslaught, albeit having lost considerable market share to its high-definition counterpart.
Now both DVD and Blu-ray face an unprecedented foe: the Cloud. Entire media libraries are available through an Internetconnection with services such as Netflix, Hulu, iTunes and Amazon. The rise of new media delivery devices raises the question: Does disc media still have a place in our entertainment lives?
The short answer is yes. People have spent a great deal of money on their DVD and Blu-ray collections and as long as manufacturers continue to sell players with optical drives, they’ll still be watched and bought. These plastic discs aren’t dependent on an Internet connection, and applications like the ones found in our review of the best Top DVD copy software enable users to protect their collections against damage and obsolescence.
This isn’t to say that DVD and Blu-ray won’t eventually go away. Both of these formats have a few good years of life left in them. But it will take a very different form than we’ve known in the past. Gone are the days of video rental stores and entire sections of retail shops devoted to home entertainment discs. DVD and Blu-ray will most likely join the CD in its incarnation for personal use.
Believe it or not, CDs still have a pretty big place in our entertainment culture. It’s merely shifted from store shelves to our personal backup libraries. Just like people burn copies of their favorite music album to protect them from a computer catastrophe, so DVDs will protect our movie libraries from a similar fate. DVD copy software for Mac computers offers a great way to back up the investment we’ve made in disc media.
Summary
DVDs may be on the decline, but they are far from dead. The convenience of watching movies onthe Internet is great, and the future holds great innovations in this field. However, consumers don’t always have access to an Internet connection, and they have a strong distaste for paying additional money for movies that they have already paid for on DVD or Blu-ray. Until the entertainment industry totally stops supporting DVD (like they did VHS), these discs will play an integral part in our entertainment lives.
