So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

    I don’t think you can fit that many hours of 1080p MP4 on a ~5.4GB disc. In descent quality I would guess 6 hours or less.

      Yeah after I posted I remember TV seasons back then had more than 10 episodes.

      You’re right gonna have to split that shit across discs.

      More I think about it the less useful DVDRs get and I own a DVD burner. That I don’t use.
