TV binge-watchers and movie fans have changed the way they enjoy videos from in-home DVD player & TV combo to on-the-go mobiles. Discs just feel like a waste of space and a thing of inconvenience when streaming digital content via media servers across TVs, mobiles, consoles, etc. becomes so much easier. Even major hardware manufacturers are actively encouraging DVD consumers to go towards digital:
Users of new Macs are left with no options to insert and play a DVD on the computer unless they pay extra on an external disc drive since Apple no longer produces Mac with CD/DVD drive since the discontinuity of non-Retina legacy MacBook Pro.
Microsoft killed the disc drive with Xbox One S All-Digital Edition to make gamers go from disc to digital.
Windows Media Center, the built-in way to burn CD/DVD on Windows, has been discontinued from Windows 10 and Microsoft no longer offers an official option to create disks.

Disc to Digital Services sound good, really?
Google results may recommend services like Vudu or Movies Anywhere to convert physical DVD collections to digital files. Simply get an account > download the app on mobiles/desktop > scan the barcodes > pay for the convert (check for detailed steps to digitize a DVD). Sounds easy. But there are a few caveats you should know.
- Another $2-$5 required each disc to video copy. Think if you have a large DVD library of thousands of titles.
- Can't convert all DVDs into digital. First, only DVDs from partnering studios are compatible with D2D. E.g., you can't convert Disney DVDs to digital files with Vudu, or convert homemade discs to digital files using Vudu. Second, D2D services don't "convert" discs. They simply provide a digital copy if it's in their library. That means you can convert any homemade DVDs.
- No control on the output quality. Sometimes there is SD version available only and you can't do anything to improve the quality.
- No physical ownership. Some services allow you to download the converted DVD video for viewing offline, but you don't really own it. You cancel the membership, you lose the movies.
- Data Throttling. Online DVD to digital converter services provide digital files via the internet connection, which can be capped soon.
- Region limitations. The major D2D services are open to the US only. Other regions can't take advantage of them.
- Intricate errors. The process can be fraught with issues that are difficult to deal with, for example, can't find any titles in the cart, location doesn't match billing address, can't read barcode, operation timeout, etc.
