I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

    Basically entirely digital. I have an Emby server hosted on a Synology NAS. My parent’s have a bit of an obsession with buying Blu-Rays, so I usually can just borrow whatever I want and then rip it onto my NAS. For the things they don’t buy, I will buy, rip, then resell or donate. Certain things that are unable to be purchased, are… generously donated by… peers.
