I'm a film buff and have many movie DVDs as well. I take good care of them. I've gotten a few loaners or trades that look like they have been run over by a tractor. I'm sure I would do more streaming if my internet wasn't lousy!

Plus, shipping to Canada is becoming extraordinarily high, so I can't see myself ever buying another DVD again. Downloading, yes, but not buying a physical product. If I could successfully convert my favourite DVDs and VHS tapes to a digital format, I would gladly do away with my physical copies. I compare it to music. I used to buy maybe 5-6 new CDs a year. Now, for a monthly fee, I have access to virtually any song ever recorded. I have absolutely no regrets that I do not own the music I listen to. (Besides, when I think back to some of the CDs I once owned - yikes!)

Hey guys, I see so many threads about dvd players & what will happen for vidiots who still use dvds.
Does anyone use a USB mini dvd player on their laptop or desktop? I still use dvds and since 2013 (costs $32 after tax), use an older version of this External CD Drive USB 3.0 Portable CD DVD +/-RW Drive DVD/CD ROM Rewriter Burner Writer Compatible with Laptop Desktop PC Windows Mac Pro MacBook by Rioddas-Ziroo Learn more: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DLRG9VH...ing=UTF8&psc=1 It's so much easier, smaller to connect and operate. Just plug it in once. So affordable too! Less than 30 bucks. Your computer's media player will play it but I like VLC player. Easy peasy, now you can have your dvds forever and ever and ever !

Thank you so much for this. I'm pretty sure that my techy husband got something like this for me. I don't really know what mine is. I'm adding the one that you linked, along with your helpful post, to my wish list. I often make notes in the "comments" part of my amazon wish list.

My internet provider is typically reliable, but I awakened the other morning ready for my morning workout before logging on for work. Internet was down for maintenance and estimated to be back up by 6am which was when I needed to be logged on for work. I ended up using 3 different DVD’s to take the place of my scheduled streaming workout.
