Jen is loading DVD’s into a donation box. Admiral: Stop!! You can’t get rid of our DVD’s! What if the streaming sites go down?! - Admiral: What’ll we watch if there’s an apocalypse? The NEWS?! Jen: You’re right! DVD’s are essential for survival! - Admiral: We still have a DVD player, right? Jen: I mean… probably
USB DVD readers are still available if you look
I literally have a salvaged disk drive from an old computer connected up to a SATA adapter. Lol.
I do too. I haven’t used it in about 10 years, and this is at least the fourth computer it has been in. Maybe I don’t need it anymore, but if I throw it away, then I’ll surely have to read a DVD.
And they’re basically free. I think I paid $20 for my last one, new.
I have two 5 1/4" drives in a PC, one doing Bluray XL and the other Bluray and HD-DVD (altough I couldn’t test that feature because nothing supports them anymore and a lot of HD-DVDs are dead from disc rot)
