Rusty can it be this copy of Spearhead From Space?

Because I kid you not, out of my entire collection, it’s one of the only two full duplicates I own, and daddy would like to make bank

(for the curious)

I was reading r/glitch_in_the_matrix and one story reminded me of a time a DVD duplicated on me. Well, either that, or two primary schoolers brought the same random film about haunted castles in Scotland to school on the same day, and one of them left it in an empty classroom. Which is also unlikely, but maybe likelier than one just spawning from the ether.

Finally got a new shelf in to replace an older one!

Definitely won't be staying like this (will have to rearrange the top shelf once I get the rest of the Outlander books), but for now, it's fine. I need to go through all my shelves and do a big rearrange. And I still need to replace this big metal shelf that I've got with something better. But! I've finally got a better one for this spot!

And yes, bloody Warrior Cats taking up so much room....

And once I've finally put together those other kit cars that are just sitting in their boxes on the bottom shelf there'll be a bit more room.

RUN DON'T WALK to your local library neeeow!! I'm telling y'all they've got heat. Mine has a biweekly sale where they sell all sorts of things, DVDs, CDs, every kinda book you can imagine, hardcovers, coffee table books, old out of print books. Even newer titles or popular authors' works are being sold for half of what you'd pay going to a mainstream book store.

They also had a sale last month where all of their CDs were 50 cents each. I'm not an inside guy or anything but I'm assuming a lot of libraries are just begging to give physical media away bc there's probably less of a demand for stuff like that rn with digital streaming services. You should take advantage of this! Especially when some TV shows get bounced between streaming services and it's never certain whether or not you'll have easy access to it. It's easier than you think to start building a collection of all your favorite shows and music.

they should just release all of how its made and mythbusters and dirty jobs on dvd like they should have done a decade ago. discovery channel's history of never releasing physic complete sets of their shows needs to END.

Top Picks for the Best USB Flash Drives in 2024

The fast-paced digital environment of today calls for dependable and portable storage options. The best USB flash drives are indispensable whether you're looking for a way to carry vital files, backup treasured memories, or just copy key paperwork. Given so many options, it can be challenging to choose the best one. This article will lead you through the salient features and assist you in selecting from the best USB flash drives in 2024, simplifying and guiding your choice.

Why You Need the Best USB Flash Drives

Anyone who requires fast, portable storage must own a USB flash drive. Unlike more weighty outside hard drives, they fit readily in your pocket, keychain, or purse. Having one of the top USB flash drives will streamline your workflow and provide peace of mind whether your job requires you to back up critical business files or you are a student needing to transfer projects between home and school.

Another factor making USB flash drives so common is their adaptability. They operate on many devices, including cell phones, laptops, and PCs. They also provide a great substitute in cases of limited internet access or privacy-related avoidance of cloud storage.

Key Considerations for Choosing the Best USB Flash Drives

Storage Capacity

Storage capacity is among the first things to consider when choosing the best USB flash drives. From as little as 8GB to a crazy 2TB, flash drives exist in a broad spectrum of sizes. Your needs will determine the proper size. A 32GB drive would be sufficient for casual use, including document or small media file storage. Choose a USB flash drive with at least 128GB or more for extra storage if you manage bigger files, including movies, music, or software.

Transfer Speed

Transfer speed is equally crucial as capacity when deciding on the best USB flash drives. Though they have slower transfer speeds—roughly 60MB/s— USB 2.0 drives are sometimes more reasonably priced. With rates of up to 600MB/s, USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 devices provide a better experience for those handling bigger files, drastically lowering the data transfer times.

Durability

If you're usually on the go, durability becomes essential. Many of the top USB flash drives are made to resist regular wear and tear. Search for models with waterproof, shock-resistant, or metal enclosures to guarantee your drive lasts and protects your data even under demanding situations. A vigorous drive might save lives when shipping delicate data.

Finding the Right USB Flash Drive for You

Given so many choices, choosing the best USB flash drives calls for careful thought. The flash drive's size, speed, and durability should fit your needs. For instance, a high-capacity disc with faster transfer speeds will save time and aggravation if you regularly handle big files like movies or programs. Conversely, if you primarily use it for papers and small media, a mid-range choice with reasonable speed and storage will probably be more than sufficient.

Searching for other elements meant to improve your experience is also advisable. For example, some drives have physical features that shield the USB port from damage, while others have software enabling simple data backups. The best USB flash drives have helpful capabilities that make them more handy than only storage ones.

Conclusion

Purchasing from a reputed supplier is vital when you are in the market for dependable, high-performance USB flash drives. Optical Media Manufacturing Inc. is a reliable name for many consumers, providing some of the best USB flash drives. Whether your want is for something robust or high-speed, Optical Media Manufacturing Inc. offers quality goods meant to fit your needs. They are the top choice for USB flash drives, and their dedication to excellence guarantees your data is safe, secure, and readily available.

Spent 30 minutes sifting through DVDs to clear out duplicates and better use the shelf space 👍 next up I'm gonna organise by either colour, genre, or director

[fishmech]

sure feels like a lot of people miss that your average blockbuster didn't actually have a huge selection, because a lot of the actual videos/dvds/blu-rays on the shelves were duplicates, in order to account for multiple people wanting to rent the same popular movies.

like yea you would have 7,000 to 10,000 to even 20,000 distinct titles available to a particular location to stock... but that was like "what's in the regional distribution network" not "what's actually on the shelves at any one particular store, especially in the more common small-format stores". it would be more common that there were like, 2000 titles in a location and a few hundred had 2-5 copies, and then a few dozen had a few dozen copies because they were the most in demand.

blockbuster and the other big chains were also fairly aggressive about cycling out the duplicate copies and then any copies at all over time, typically via selling the used media. just because they had a certain movie at your local store a year prior wouldn't mean they still had it! independent video stores were less likely to completely ditch old titles but especially on tape they did need to dump things once they got too worn out and physically deteriorated.

honestly the best time for blockbuster selection? the like 10 years they operated their own netflix service. as in the original netflix service, you place a request from the catalog and a dvd/blu-ray gets mailed to you. you see to operate this service they didn't just use their central distribution facilities but also would send you a disc from any store in the country that might have it, and there'd be lots of shit that was only actually present at 2 or 3 physical stores.

i used that service to rip thousands of discs lmao. lots of out of print stuff that actually buying it could be hundreds of dollars but was basically free in the blockbuster subscription.

Trick or treat :)!

Enjoy your DVD duplicator!

[donnerpartyofone]

Movie pals! If you are local to the Other Half on Centre Street go there and pick up these DVDs. No losers in the bunch, I just got duplicates and whatnot now.

[weirdrtvscomments]

Had a dream that i was digging through my parents' dvd collection and found an officially licensed Disney movie called called "The (i forgot the exact word here but it was something in the vibe of desolation) of Mooby." It had some I'm sorry Jon type art of Disney characters, and a Wayneradiotv logo on it, directly beside the "Mooby logo" that's just the word mooby in a green slime font, like the goosebumps logo. I wanted to watch it, so my mom insisted that I make 6 duplicates of the disk despite not caring about whether or not we owned the film herself. (In real life, we do not have any method of burning cds in our house) I was considering messaging the discord with a photo of the cover and a joke about it being an ARG. When I woke up, I was genuinely upset as I realized it was something I made up in my sleep, and I don't actually get to watch it. The wayneradiotv logo didn't look anything like his actual logo, it was just "Wayneradiotv" in a very curvy, exaggerated font.

The fact that you didin't even get to watch it... spent so long setting that dvd up and you wake up before you got to see a dream movie. Geninely heartbreaking, anon.

availability / @thephoebeyates setting / phoebe's apartment; saturday, july 7th, around eight pm.

she felt like a damn super spy. move over, tom cruise in those mission: impossible movies, whatever your name was! james bond, too, though she never saw any of those films and only really knew the name from other cultural references. anyway, she felt like a spy because she got an invite to the most forbidden kingdom. phoebe had invited her over for a little sleepover—tefi guessed that foster was working, it was doubtful that phoebe would’ve asked her over otherwise if her boyfriend was going to be hanging around—and tefi had jumped at the chance for two reasons. one: she would be able to snoop around phoebe’s apartment. sue her, she was curious about her new friend’s living situation and just how cozy her life with foster was. two: it got her out of cj and seb’s apartment for a bit. god love those two, but even tefi needed a night away from their den of hedonism. usually, she’d suggest a night out on the town, but phoebe’s request for a girls’ night was appreciated twice over. she got to play super spy, and she got to enjoy quality time with her new friend.

it was such a shame she had an ulterior motive because she did like phoebe. truly, she thought phoebe was a nice, cute girl. someone she probably would’ve naturally been friends with anyway. the duplicity of it all only bothered tefi when she was face-to-face with phoebe, so how was she supposed to get through the whole night without cracking into two, or letting her secret slip? her adrenaline spiked as if she was in line for the tallest rollercoaster in the world instead of standing outside of phoebe’s door and knocking. she took a steading breath right before it opened and phoebe was revealed on the other side. thank fuck it wasn’t foster on the way out for his shift, or that tefi had incorrectly assumed he’d be gone from the apartment for the night. “hey, mamas!” she greeted, leaning forward to place an air kiss alongside phoebe’s cheek. “you look so cute, girl.” tefi complimented as she pulled back, her arms full with a blanket, a board game (an old copy of dream phone, the best board game in existence!), and a few dvds she managed to find at thrift haven. “i’m so excited for girls’ night. i desperately need some feminine energy. you know i love the boys but if i see cj’s underwear on the floor of the bathroom one more time, i might just burn down the whole building. say bye bye to caffélicious, i’m serious.”

The Animanga Find Of A Lifetime

Yeah, I haven't really been too active this week. I've been busy during the week with life and whatnot, but a good chunk of the end of this week has been about this pile of anime and manga magazines. It's no longer just a "pile" of Animerica Extra, but a bonafide Mt. Everest encroaching on 400 issues, so I have lot to explain with just this haul alone.

So, where to begin? An outline is probably best.

This haul is a total of about 311 issues (a little more because of a few duplicates and magazines that aren't strongly related to animanga). That huge number is split across 16 different magazines, 4 of which (combining for 37 issues) are Japanese language.

The full list, in alphabetical order, is: Animage (JP), Animerica, Animerica Extra, Anime USA, AX (JP), AX DVD (JP), Mangajin, Neo, Newtype (JP), NewtypeUSA, OtakuUSA, Pulp, Protoculture Addicts, Shoujo Beat, Super Manga Blast, and Yen+.

Protoculture Addicts and Animerica stand out in the bunch because they together combine for over 100 of the issues in the haul, which is good because they're by far the longest running in the lot.

Speaking of those, let me give a bit of broad history in regards to the magazines.

While the majority are English language, there's actually a pair of them that were created/published outside of the US.

Starting it off, Protoculture Addicts was created in Montreal, and was actually ran as a Robotech Fanzine for about a year or so before becoming a full fledged magazine.

And then there's Neo, the UK based magazine. It's arguably the most interesting ongoing magazine out of the lot (with Otaku/Anime USA being the only others). It's also the only monthly animanga magazine to be currently published in English as OtakuUSA is bimonthly, and AnimeUSA is quarterly.

But that's enough history, what about the insides? For the most part they're relatively standard, but there's not "as many" manga anthology issues in this mountain.

Super Manga Blast, Shoujo Beat (only 9 issues), Animerica Extra (which I now have extras of), Pulp (only 2 issues), and Yen+.

That last one is the most interesting to me purely because of an editorial/column penned by "The Otaku Pimp". Yeah, that's a real thing that appears in that magazine which is incredibly funny to me.

More on the interesting side though is Mangajin, a magazine focused on teaching Japanese through Japanese culture, which of course includes manga. This one is especially interesting because it oftentimes features the only instance of the manga inside being translated to English.

And this is all just the tip of the iceberg. There's an insane amount of information and history in the magazines, and an exciting amount of unknowns with the frankly incredible amount of promotional DVDs that remain attached to so many of these issues.

I just have to get through it all.... which will take a long time. Will certainly be recruiting friends and whoever to help out, so hopefully I won't be doing this for the rest of my life haha

OK time for stats on my #VHS #VideoTape #digitiztion project

1. I have 291 mainly #VHS videotapes of #fanvids (or #songtapes / #songvids

2. I received most of them back in the 2010s - my progress is glacial

3. I still have 178 more videotapes to convert.  Some of these are duplicates but given  the poor tape quality,  the plan is to convert all of them

4. My lossless conversion setup no longer works (capture cards have grown worse over the years and the ones I had only worked with OS that no longer runs aka Win XP). So I am relying on  DVD-Recorder to digitize what I can.

What is  a songtape or a songvid?

Why You Should Consider DVD Replication Services for Your Next Project

Physical media could look like a relic of the past in today's digital age. For companies, artists, and people looking for consistent and physical means of sharing their material, DVDs still have great worth. DVD replication services can deliver premium discs for distribution or sale regardless of the project—movie, instructional video, or software package. Knowing the benefits of DVD replication over other distribution methods will enable you to decide whether it is appropriate for your project.

What is DVD Replication?

DVD replication is the technique of permanently incorporating data onto a disk during production. This isn't like DVD copying, in which data is burned onto already-used discs. Usually utilized for bigger orders starting from 500 pieces and up, replication is perfect for professional use. Clones of the master disc, the replicated DVDs guarantee constant quality and endurance. Businesses seeking a professional presentation of their material—for software distribution, entertainment, or education—often use this technique.

Why Choose DVD Replication Services?

Cost-effective for Large Quantities

Ordering in bulk from DVD replication services is one of the main benefits of the economy. Since the cost per unit drops dramatically as the quantity rises, replication becomes the most reasonably priced choice for major projects. This helps companies and content producers who have to deliver hundreds or thousands of DVDs.

Superior Quality and Durability

The method used to create replicated DVDs stamps the data onto the disc. This approach is more dependable and robust than burning DVDs, which could degrade over time. The excellent output of DVD duplicating services guarantees that your material is displayed in the best possible light for companies and artists striving to uphold a professional image.

Customizability and Professionalism

Services for DVD duplicating give a variety of personalizing choices. You can select unique disc printing, packaging, and add-ons, including booklets or inserts. This degree of customizing lets you produce a professional package that captures your brand or message, impacting your audience.

Security and Control

DVD replication services help you to manage your content. DVDs protect digital distribution, in which files may be readily duplicated and distributed without permission. Your DVDs can have copy protection or encryption added to guarantee that only those you want see your material.

No Internet Required

Though streaming and internet content are shared, only some have fast internet access or wish to use it to access media. DVDs are a consistent approach to get an audience that lives in places with restricted internet access or likes physical media. Regardless of their internet access, DVD replication services offer a solution available to everybody.

Common Uses of DVD Replication Services

Services for DVD replication are somewhat flexible and can be applied for several uses. Many independent musicians and filmmakers use these services to present their works online, in stores, or at events. DVD replication is widely used in educational institutions and businesses to provide presentations and training materials. Software companies offer updates and programs using DVD replication for consumers who would rather have a physical copy.

How to Choose the Right DVD Replication Service

Numerous elements must be taken into account to guarantee you obtain the finest results when choosing a DVD replication service. Start by looking at businesses focused on DVD copying with great customer service and quality reputation. Search for providers with customization choices and extra services, including design help and packing. Review reviews and obtain estimates from several companies to identify a service that fits your budget and needs.

Conclusion

If you want a dependable and reasonably priced approach to sharing your material, DVD duplicating services are perfect. Whether for personal or professional use, they provide better quality, customizing, and security for your project. For a reliable supplier of DVD replication services, give Optical Media Manufacturing Inc. some thought. They guarantee your project appears professional by providing excellent replication with many customizing choices. Their dedication to low prices and customer satisfaction makes them ideal for your DVD copying needs.
