Does anyone use DVDs any more? We have a bunch, some of which are obscure enough that they don't seem to be available for streaming, or they're family videos or whatever. Our DVD player may be dying. Should we get a new one or give up on this branch of technology? If I convert them to digital (let's speak only of the family videos, to make sure everything is legal), is there a standard way to access them from a TV and other devices in the house?
Our current TV (42" Panasonic plasma) is pretty old, and maybe we'll upgrade that within the next few years, in case that matters. We currently use an Xbox to play DVDs (and our 16 year old plays lots of games on it), but it's been having issues lately, so we may need to decide whether to get an Xbox S or an Xbox X. If we get an Xbox S, we could then get a separate DVD player or a different solution that could also stream to other devices in the house.
