Let’s talk about media collections: How do you keep your library of your favorite movies and TV shows? (beehaw.org)

I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

I keep all my movies and tv shows on my custom NAS I built. I use Plex to organize and watch the content. Plex has had issues with colormapping on some 4k HDR movies so I end up picking up both the 4k and 1080p versions of those movies.

I've recently started digitizing old video tapes that I used to record shows and movies on tv. The quality doesn't come close to comparing to today's standards, but I like the nostalgia of it all. Even the old tv commercials are fun to watch. I feel old now...
