DVD discs are becoming extinct and there is a rare chance you might be using one. The throne of DVD is now taken by popular digital video formats such as MP4, AVI and MOV. Besides, the vast growth of OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Zee5, and Hotstar in developing countries like India have limited the proportion of DVD. Unlike what you may think, a significant amount of viewers still rely on DVDs. Most of them also have a collection of their favourite movies on DVD.
As DVDs are on the edge of redundancy it is advisable to take a backup of your important media. Digitizing DVDs may also be necessary as modern laptops usually lack a DVD drive. However, one simply cannot copy and paste the contents of a DRM-protected DVD disc to their hard drive. Original DVDs have other limitations too that arise due to region code restriction. Due to this, a DVD won’t play on Windows 10 or can’t be read by a media player. For instance, a DVD bought in the UK might fail to play on your player in the US due to a different region code.
