At home I have 2 boxes full of DVD-R Verbatims with TV series and Cartoons downloaded at the beginning of the 2000s. I’m talking about about 800 DVD-R 4.7GB. I would be willing to throw away all the DVDs because my old computer no longer has a working DVD player, so I wouldn’t know how to read the contents. But I have 5-6 sheets of paper on which I have written what each DVD contains. My doubt is: Don’t I waste time and re-download everything in 720p or 1080p format and buy like 4TB HDD or do I get an internal DVD player from the computer and copy all the old DVDs just so as not to waste the time lost at the beginning of the 2000s? Thanks all!
Don’t delete anything until you find a replacement copy. A lot of media from that time period became lost with no known copies. You might be sitting on a treasure trove.
Yes absolutely, I hope this will be clear for all people in this subreddit
Thank you. There is so much from this time that I can no longer find. Anime which is not considered “profitable” often never gets re-released. Some is never released on home media, and the only copies are recording from TV decades ago.
