On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

That sounds like consumer BRD disks not what businesses buy to produce copies of a new movie they are releasing.

That's just recordable Blu-rays, for the 5 people that have a Blu-ray writer. Nobody uses them, USB drives are far more convenient and can be bigger anyway.

Normal Blu-rays are not going anywhere.
