Since there seemed to be a good discussion on physical media for movies and TV shows in a recent FS/trade thread:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/600-dvd-ampamp-blu-ray-movies-for-stern-pinball
I thought it might be fun to keep it going.
Quoted from gweempose:I've got a few movies on Hi8. Does that count?
Retail releases? I was under the impression Hi8 was just used for video cameras.
Quoted from Timerider:I was service manager for a local video store (in Gweempose's town) back when, and we sold & rented retail 8mm video tapes. (mostly they were Paramount releases) (Along with VHS, Beta, and Laserdisc.)
(Fixed alot of Minolta, Canon & Sony 8mm cameras & decks back then.)
Quoted from gweempose:Not retail. I think I recorded them off cable. It's hard to remember. We're talking like 30 years ago.
I had an 8mm camcorder back in the day, but never had a dedicated player for it other than the camera itself. I hadn't heard of any retail releases on that format, so I was curious.
Quoted from Timerider:If you want to see a bunch of cool, obscure tech... I recommend this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan
I've been subscribed to that channel for a while. He shows off some interesting stuff.
Here's another somewhat similar channel, but not limited to video formats (Technology Connections): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy0tKL1T7wFoYcxCe0xjN6Q
Another one, but mostly focused on gaming and vintage PCs (The 8-Bit Guy): https://www.youtube.com/user/adric22
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:So does anyone have a recommendation for a 4k player ? I’ve got one that’s “fine” but loading times are getting on my nerves.
I’m also in the market for a new CD player - thinking going Oppo but wanted to see what else is out there
I'd suggest looking at what Panasonic has, followed by LG.
Personally, I avoid Sony products when possible because of all the shenanigans they tend to pull.
