PS so refreshingly quaint to meet folks who still use DVDs, i'ts like discovering an Amish community at the end of your street.

Just as shelves of hardbacks have evolved to calibre library/ content server/portable devices, movies have evolved from easy to scratch discs to files on a media server... I rediscovered Plex recently as it's supported on my new Kindle Fire TV stick; I setup Plex media on main PC & pointed it at my video folders only. It correctly indexed, found metadata for etc. all stored shows and movies ( with just a couple of quick patchups/renames) & I can now stream them all to the fire stick or to my fire tablet, Plex can even get the trailers & jungles if you want them ! everything has been sorted and organised, by show, by season, with cover art...automatically... and so far I don't even need to think about formats, bit rates. all that is taken care of under the bonnet. Compare that with find the dvd box set, ( or realise that your kids borrowed it & have not returned it ) fight with these plastic buttons that dare you to extract the disc without snapping it, sit through " you wouldn't steal a car... " for the millionth time.... then watch the FBI warning again... those Amish know how to live it up
