DVDs are no longer the main way we watch our movies. But there was a time that DVDs completely took over the world. Every couple of decades we have experienced some form of format war. VHS vs BetaMax, Blu-ray vs HD-DVD, DVD vs DivX. But no format has ever dominated as much as DVDs.

In this video we talk about how and why DVDs became so popular, what has happened to them since their peak, and what the future of the format looks like.

NOTE: During the recording of this video my microphone was starting to break so there are a few moments where my voice clips slightly. We really apologize for this and we hope it doesn't take you away from the experience too much. Good news is that it was an excuse to buy an even better microphone. 😊 Enjoy!
