which means it's not really Damn Small anymore.

In current times, this might be still damn small - compared to current
games that need 50GB.

It's ok, but 700mb used to be the standard for live discs. I guess it
isn't anymore. I also guess nobody is using live discs anymore.

Not possible anymore, the applications and system components have
enlarged.

I think the bigger issue is that modern laptops for example come without
disc drives at all.

Nothing more stupid than wanting to watch a DVD from my collection and realizing that the only way to do that is trying to get the ancient DVD player out of storage.

Yeah.. at least I still have a DVD player somewhere.

I actually had to drag out one of my old laptops and use that one
instead in the end. It turns out the DVD player didn't do HDMI, and connecting it via other cables turned the whole experience rather
painful (all blurry). When I used the old laptop I at least got a crisp picture on my TV.

Huh. Maybe you could look for a cheap BluRay player? I think they're
backwards compatible with DVD.

That would be interesting. I completely missed out on BluRay as a medium.

I never got into it myself, but I'm sure it would be easier to find one.

This is not very cheap usually, unless you can find a second hand model.

If you want to watch a movie with the right quality on a full HD (or
more) TV or video projector and if you love watching movies like in
theaters, the BR is for you. Unfortunately the streaming movies are not delivered in a very good quality to watch in high definition.

4K definition is for the professionals even if the industry wants to
make us believe it's for everybody. Too much expensive and not everyone
can see the difference with a standard HD or FullHD movie, excepted if
you have a very large screen !

That's logical as there is no more usage for CD/DVD media on computers.

Nothing more stupid than wanting to watch a DVD from my collection and realizing that the only way to do that is trying to get the ancient DVD player out of storage.

For the 1% of laptop users who want to continue watching DVDs on a
computer, you can still buy an external/slim DVD/Bluray player in USB. I
have one. I very rarely use it. Sometime to burn CD/DVDs...
