So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

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.
