“DVD encoded content must be put on DVD discs, it cannot be put on BluRay discs.”
Yes it can.
DVD movies use DVD-Video format which is the MPEG-2 codec.
BluRay supports this same codec which allows copying DVD movies to BluRay disks:

Video Codecs:
MPEG-2: Enhanced for HD, also used for playback of DVDs and HDTV recordings.
Roku overstayed it’s technology. It’s a little long in the tooth and didn’t adapt to the times.
All that plus it’s a hassle to get started and get everything set up...............

Remember Tivo? They were amazing 20 years ago, best to ch you could get. I gave them up after 20 years with them recently. I can’t understand how they are still in business. About 5 years ago they got rid of their best feature, recommending shows baed on your ratings.
And it was $16 a month just for the Tivo service which was basically just a glorified listing of channel info.
My TV remote talks to the cable box and bluray. If my Roku was plugged in it would probably to that too. What’s creepy is I didn’t even set anything up. The TV just handles it. I don’t like my toys talking to each other like that, what if they decide they don’t like me.
i don’t understand why roku needs that many employees anyway ... roku boxes don’t need that much innovation ... now that they have 4K boxes, don’t know why they need thousands of employees ... their roku channel is just another ad-based channel amongst a gaggle of similar ad-based channels, and for me, life is too short wasting it watching or waiting for ads to finish ...
interesting that not a single mention was made in any of those articles that woke content is driving streamers away ... i.e., the dogs won’t eat the food ...
Their intention is to normalize perversion.................
Another big issue going on is it’s actually more convenient to pirate streamed content now than to deal with separate apps or even channels.
Too many companies jacked up prices way too fast when it’s really about the most expandable thing in most people’s lives. Disney+ is in a death spiel of losing customers and raising prices in reaction.
I have already posted not just evidence, but absolute proof, that what you have said is completely false. Yet you persist - for what purpose? BluRay discs are not DVD discs and vice versa. BluRays are not DVDs, DVDs are not BluRays. Period. That is reality. To say otherwise is false.
Grow up and knock it off. You were wrong.
Only if they end up having to pay residuals.
Did I miss your posts respond to my citing FFL holder compliance with ATF inspections?
“Grow up and knock it off.”
I knocked it off last night. No posts today till you posted to me.
You can put a dvd file,thags all that in on the disc, files onto a bluray disc and play it fine on a bluray player. You typically can’t play bluray files on dvd because most aren’t mpeg2 code, won’t fit on the dvd disc’s space, or need higher bandwidth than a bluray. They aren’t identical but in essence the storage space, common codecs, and bandwidth see the only differences. I don’t know if this will help anyone or not.
Saying a file can’t be played on a different storage format is just wrong. It’s like saying playing a mpeg video on a USB stick wouldn’t work if you put it on an HD or ssd or disc. The data is data.
