Totally agree. Apple doesn't realize the extent of DVD purchasers. We are already using Vimeo VOD and Amazon to sell our films, but there is still a huge list of people that demand DVDs. We have to provide them with what they want. After the past 7 years, we've sold well over 120,000 DVDs. Many less video streams unless those streams are free. PEOPLE WANT THE HARD COPY FOR THEIR COLLECTIONS. Apple is ignoring this fact. What is also true is that people in fringe areas or rural areas typically have lousy internet speeds to contend with. Sometimes their data rates aren't reliable, and so they'd rather have a DVD. We've also done BluRay discs, but the vast majority still buy DVD.

Some people still like the old DVD menu even on a Mac.

All movie collectors want their movies on a physical disk.


I am finding that optical media is making a strong comeback because of M-DISC, good for 1000 years.


Storing movies on a hard drive is fine. But you must remember to keep backing them up every 3 to 5 years. I would absolutely hang on to all of your original pressed copies. ( Also proves that the movies were purchased legally.) Pressed DVDs have a shelf life of about 100 years. Hard drives have a much shorter lifetime.

Hi, I have an iMac 2013 with OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite and am using DVDSP 4.2.2 with no problems at all. I still deliver on dvds, lots of them. If you have FCP Studio, DVDSP was included, you can install just that app. That is what I did. I am now one of the only persons in this business around here that can still make dvds with menus etc. Hope this helps. I've been asking on this forum if DVDSP works with El Capitan? If anyone knows it would be nice to know. Thanks

Mark
