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?

    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.
