If ya got a DVD player that can read MP4 or Mkv files I'd drop an entire season of 1080p encoded TV shows on a disc. Something that isn't High Def to begin with like DS9 or old shows so you aren't missing out on pixel quality.
My mom's standalone Blu-ray player can read discs with a bunch of files on it and play it and so does my Xbox a bit. Just figure out what it likes and try to download that OR re encode it with Handbrake or something.
Put em in a CD binder for a rainy day when the Internet is out or don't wanna pay for streaming for a bit.
Dont mind me, I'll be crying in the corner here with my dashed hopes of DS9 ever getting re-mastered.
Iirc, part of the problem is that DS9 was filmed on standard definition video, which you can't really upscale without things getting weird or ugly. TNG was recorded on film, which can be scanned in high resolution.
I think it'll happen eventually. I was shocked when B5 got the sprucing up that it did. The tools to do even a semi-remaster are getting better and cheaper and generative AI is making it a much less labor intensive proposition.
Yeah after I posted I remember TV seasons back then had more than 10 episodes.
You're right gonna have to split that shit across discs.
More I think about it the less useful DVDRs get and I own a DVD burner. That I don't use.
