Disc Replacement Form: Fill & Download for Free

No.There is no real technical barrier, and various attempts at a solid-state format to replace CDs have been tried, most recently SanDisk’s “SlotMusic” SD card format circa 2008:It doesn’t take a genius to guess why this format did not take off.Disney also tried it (on full-size SD cards) with their “MixClip” concept:Only slightly more usable are novelty USB keys, typically with whole catalogs of albums:These have some collector value, but there is no significant demand.On the video side, the same approach was tried in the same timeframe (late 2000’s). Who you gonna call to find a way to play this on your TV?As physical media go, it turns out that CD-sized discs are a great form factor and represent an ideal compromise between size and usability. The base production cost for a mass-produced disc (which is basically molded plastic and aluminum) is also much lower than a USB key or other solid state device, so there is no real incentive for studios or manufacturers to try to push this as a direction.Moreover, any new physical format is going to be immediately obsolete as streaming media has largely precluded the need for any physical format at all.

I haven’t read all answer but yes i want to share it with all of youwe torrent sometimes but we don’t know various shortcutsMoviesMovie releases come in several flavors and forms depending on the time frame of normal release. Quality can very from grainy and unwatchable to high definition. You will see these types in the name of the file you are downloading, giving you the background on it.Cam - A copy made in a cinema using a camcorder or mobile phone. The sound source is the camera microphone. Cam rips quickly appear after the first preview or premiere of the film. The quality ranges from terrible to pretty good, depending on the group of persons performing the recording and the resolution of the camera used. The main disadvantage is the sound quality, it's usually poor as the microphone does not only record the sound from the movie, but also any background noise. These are very common.Telesync - This was shot in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera mounted on a tripod, directly connected to the sound source. The professional camera source is then synchronized with audio source fed directly from the cinema's sound system, or captured from an FM radio transmission intended for hearing-impaired customers. These are not as common as others, but you will find them from time to time. Usually decent quality.Workprint - A copy made from an unfinished version of a film produced by the studio. Typically WPs have missing effects and overlays and often differ from its theatrical release. Some have a time index marker running in a corner or on the top edge and some also include watermarks. These are very rare and you usually will not encounter them on the open market. Having scene connections might get you access.Telecine - A copy captured from a film print using a machine that transfers the movie from its analog reel to digital format. Telecine has basically the same quality as DVD, since the technique is same as digitizing the actual film to DVD. However, the result is inferior because the source material is usually a lower quality reel. Telecine machines usually cause a slight left-right jitter in the picture and have inferior color levels compared to DVD. I have personally come across these twice.Screener - These are early DVD or BD releases of the theatrical version of a film, typically sent to movie reviewers, Academy members, and executives for review purposes. Disney has started encrypting the screener releases so they can only be played on special hardware, but this has not taken on industry wide as of this writing. A screener normally has a message overlaid on its picture, with wording similar to: The film you are watching is a promotional copy, if you purchased this film at a retail store please contact 1-800-NO-COPIES to report it.R5 - The R5 is a retail DVD from region 5. Region 5 consists of the Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, Russia and Mongolia. R5 releases differ from normal releases in that they are a direct telecine transfer of the film without any of the image processing. If the DVD does not contain an English-language audio track, the R5 video is synced to a previously released English audio track. This audio quality varies based on who is doing the new syncing.DVD-Rip - A final retail version of a film, typically released before it is available outside its originating region. Often after one group of pirates releases a high-quality DVD-Rip, the race to release that film will stop. Because of their high quality, DVD-Rips generally replace any earlier copies that may already have been circulating. No one usually bothers with the lesser versions afterwards.TVRip - TVRip is media captured from an analog capture card (coaxial/composite/s-video connection). Digital satellite rip (DSR) is a rip that is captured from a non-standard definition digital source like a satellite. In both of these cases, the best description would be they are pirating it off their TVs and sat boxes.BRRip - This is similar to DVD-Rip, only the source is a Blu-ray Disc. A BD/BR Rip in DVD-Rip size often looks better than a same-size DVD rip because encoders have better source material. It is Blu-ray, after all. What is commonly misunderstood among pirates is that a BDRip and a BRRip are really the same thing. A BDRip comes directly from the Blu-ray source, and BRRip is encoded from a prerelease, usually from a 1080p BDRip from another group. BD Rips are available in DVD-Rip sized releases, usually between 700MB and 1.5GB.DVD Region CodesR0 - No region codingR1 - United States of America, CanadaR2 - Europe, including France, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Arabia, Japan, and South AfricaR3 - Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo, and IndonesiaR4 - Australia and New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South AmericaR5 - India, Africa, Russia, and former USSR countriesR6 - Peoples Republic of ChinaR7 - UnusedR8 - Airlines and cruise shipsR9 - Expansion (often used as region-free)R1 and R2 usually offer the best quality, though R4 releases can be solid, as well.MusicMusic is a little less complex due to the rather open distro channels and ease of ripping and converting audio formats. MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, aka MP3, is still the common and default format for transferring music around. Things don't look to change there for the time being.Tools range from ripping videos off YouTube, to more complex P2P works like GTK-Gnutella.And of course, you can always just download entire albums as a torrent, so long as you own the original version legally.

Coincidentally someone just asked me a similar question except there's was oh,... Sorry I have so many questions I can't keep them all straight I believe he said since, but it might have pad Netflix reached 1 million 100 million subscribers and what was their future outlook. if I knew how to link my personal comments directly to it which involve the fact that what Netflix did was go to CBS sometime in 2015 knowing that CBS was going to launch CBS all access and that CBS all access would be airing a new Star Trek show called discovery. somewhere along the way and yes this is a really brief answer considering Audi don't I usually am but basically Netflix bosses sat down with CBS bosses that were in charge of launching the new CBS all access streaming platform and Netflix said hey, we will pay for the production of the first season of your brand new Star Trek Discovery show and return 4 the rights to air it on our platform everywhere, you being CBS don't intend on Distributing it like literally outside of the United States for one example because you don't want to pay to build an infrastructure Off streaming platforms globally. And we at Netflix have already done that we just need the rights to release it on our streaming platform anywhere outside of CBS all access Regional area is concerned. Otherwise, what we Netflix are offering to do is pay for the entire production of season one of your new Star Trek Discovery show if you give us the rights to Eric on our streaming platform globally anywhere outside of your Regional area you being CBS. That deal was made with one exception, CBS had one clause to the finalization of the deal which was a first for Netflix. CBS fully intended to are Star Trek Discovery episodes on a weekly release on CBS All Access. And if Netflix wanted to pay for production of the entire season and be able to put it on its Network platform it too would have to follow a weekly release format globally on Netflix streaming platform and not just put the whole season up there at one time. now let me make one point that I have forgotten to put in a hundred of Netflix could have waited for the entire thing to play in the US and then dump the whole Star Trek Discovery season at one time after they are here but they chose probably the smarter path and that was what CBS offered them was you can pay for production of season 1 and then get the licensing rights 2 distributed on your streaming platform one week after it airs on our streaming platform in the us and our other local viewing Regional areas which that's me basically saying I don't know if Canada or Mexico get CBS cuz well I live in America, sorry for lack of research on that part. Anywhere so Netflix UK for example, on a weekly basis gets a brand new episode All Star Trek discovery aired one week after it airs in the US on CBS All Access.blow here I have posted both directly from Netflix media center on netflix.com, the timeline of events of the Netflix company and also a post on what Netflix is about and what they intend to achieve from a investors point of view. Like I said these are from their website just saying that to cover my own rear end against plagiarism in the process of research.Netflix TimelineA brief history of the company that revolutionized watching of movies and TV shows.1997 - Reed Hastings and software executive Marc Randolph co-found Netflix to offer online movie rentals.1998 - Netflix launches the first DVD rental and sales site, netflix.com.1999 - Netflix debuts a subscription service, offering unlimited DVD rentals for one low monthly price.2000 - Netflix introduces a personalized movie recommendation system, which uses Netflix members’ ratings to accurately predict choices for all Netflix members.2002 - Netflix makes its initial public offering (IPO on Nasdaq under the ticker “NFLX” with 600,000 members in the US.)2003 - Netflix hits 1 million members.

Now streaming entertainment - which is on-demand, personalized, and available on any screen - is replacing linear TV.Changes of this magnitude are rare. Radio was the dominant home entertainment media for nearly 50 years until linear TV took over in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Linear video in the home was a huge advance over radio, and very large firms emerged to meet consumer desires over the last 60 years. The new era of streaming entertainment, which began in the mid-2000’s, is likely to be very big and enduring also, given the flexibility and ubiquity of the internet around the world. We hope to continue being one of the leading firms of the streaming entertainment era.Streaming Entertainment AppsThe world's leading linear TV networks now offer their programming on-demand through apps that run on phones and smart TVs. These apps, such as Disney+, CBS All Access, BBC iPlayer, and HBO Now, enable binge viewing and catch-up viewing. Existing linear networks that offer compelling internet apps will generate more viewing and become more valuable. Those networks that fail to develop first-class apps will lose viewing and revenue.Streaming entertainment is expanding rapidly because of:Ecosystem Growth: The internet is getting faster and more reliable, while penetration of connected devices, like smart TVs and smart phones is also risingFreedom and Flexibility: Consumers can watch content on demand, on any screen, and the experience is personalized to individual tastesRapid Innovation: streaming entertainment apps have frequent improvement updates and streaming is the primary source of UHD 4K video content.Eventually, as linear TV viewing falls in viewing and value, the spectrum it now uses on cable, fiber, and over-the-air will be reallocated to expand internet data transmission. Satellite TV subscribers will be fewer and more rural. In a few decades, linear TV will be the fixed-line telephone: no longer mainstream.Content People LovePeople's tastes are very broad, even in a single market. The internet allows us to offer a wide variety, and to have our user interface quickly learn and make recommendations based upon individual users' tastes. Those members who love action blockbusters, Korean soaps, anime, sci-fi, Sundance films, zombie shows, or kids cartoons will find that Netflix fills their homepage with relevant and interesting titles.Since 2013, we've been at a scale where we can economically create original content for Netflix and our offering has improved as we grow further and gain greater confidence. With each original, we learn more about what our members want, about how to produce and promote effectively, and about the positive impact of originals on our brand.We believe we have a major advantage over our linear competitors when it comes to launching a series or a film. Linear networks need to attract an audience on a given night at a given time and movie theaters need to maximize attendance for a finite number of screens. We can be much more flexible. Because each show on Netflix is not competing for scarce prime-time slots like on linear TV, a show that is taking a long time to find its audience is one we can keep nurturing. This allows us to prudently commit to a whole season, rather than just a pilot episode. In addition, we are able to provide a home for more creative storytelling (varying run times per episode based on storyline, no need for week-to-week recaps, no fixed notion of what constitutes a "season"). We believe this makes it easier for us to attract creative talent.By personalizing promotion of the right content to the right member, we have a large opportunity to promote our original content, one that's effectively unlimited in duration. Long after the premiere of season one of House of Cards, large numbers of members are still starting the series.We are making great headway with our slate of original series, which is a rapidly growing proportion of our spending. Any linear network would be proud to show them. Our success is due in part to great creative execution by our team as well as the power of our large on-demand service.Netflix FocusNetflix is a global streaming entertainment service offering movies and TV series commercial-free, with unlimited viewing on any internet-connected screen for an affordable, no-commitment monthly fee. Netflix is a focused passion brand, not a do-everything brand: Starbucks, not 7-Eleven; Southwest, not United; HBO, not Dish.We don't offer pay-per-view or free ad-supported content. Those are fine business models that other firms do well. We are about flat-fee unlimited viewing commercial-free.We are not a generic "video" company that streams all types of video such as news, user-generated, live sports, porn, music video, and gaming. We are a movie and TV series entertainment network.We are a relief from the complexity and frustration that embody most MVPD relationships with their customers. We strive to be extremely straightforward. There is no better example of this than our no-hassle online cancellation. Members can leave when they want and come back when they want.We are about the freedom of on-demand and the fun of binge viewing. We are about the flexibility of any screen at any time. We are about a personal experience that finds for each person the most pleasing titles from around the world.CompetitionWe compete for a share of members' time and spending for relaxation and stimulation, against linear networks, pay-per-view content, DVD watching, other internet networks, video gaming, web browsing, magazine reading, video piracy, and much more. Over the coming years, most of these forms of entertainment will improve.If you think of your own behavior any evening or weekend in the last month when you did not watch Netflix, you will understand how broad and vigorous our competition is.We strive to win more of our members' "moments of truth". Those decision points are, say, at 7:15 pm when a member wants to relax, enjoy a shared experience with friends and family, or is bored. The member could choose Netflix, or a multitude of other options.Because the entertainment market is so broad, multiple firms can be successful. For example, ABC and NBC have historically competed for viewers, attention and content but have also successfully co-existed for many decades. Similarly, in the streaming entertainment world, HBO is now growing faster than in years past, while our business is also expanding. Many people will subscribe to both HBO and Netflix since we have different exclusive content. The transition to streaming entertainment, with its greater consumer satisfaction, will mean growth for many services.Video piracy is a substantial competitor for entertainment time in many international markets. It is free and offers very broad selection. Were video piracy to become easy, reliable, and socially acceptable, it could become our largest competitor. Great inexpensive services like Netflix will hopefully help insulate video from piracy.ISP & MVPD relationshipsISP subscribers pay for internet access and expect to be able to enjoy streaming entertainment such as Netflix. Our Open Connect program supports hundreds of large and small ISPs to directly interconnect with the Netflix network for free in regional locations, rather than going through third-party transit providers, which lowers both our costs and that of the ISPs.Sometimes, large ISPs want to use their market power to extract interconnect fees from us and others. We fight for free interconnection, where neither side charges the other, as we think Netflix and consumers are best served by strong network neutrality. We have made good progress in these battles, and they are usually country and ISP specific. We don't intend to try to collect a percentage of broadband revenue from ISPs, despite the fact that we are a substantial portion of what consumers do with their internet connection, and that this payment would parallel the payments to basic cable networks. Strong net neutrality, where payments are neutral between ISPs and content providers, is better for supporting amazing innovation for consumer benefit.With MVPDs that have an internet-capable TV set top device, such as DISH and Comcast (USA), Virgin (UK), Telus (Canada), Orange and Free (France), Liberty Global and Sky (across Europe) and many others, we offer integrated viewing experiences (and in many cases integrated billing) which increase the use of the operator set top device. Most MVPDs prefer that our growth happen through their remote control and set top experience.Netflix margin structure and growthWe think we can grow to 60-90 million members in the US, based upon our trajectory to date and the continued growth of streaming entertainment. Our operating margin structure is set mostly top down. For any given future period, we estimate revenue, and decide what we want to spend, and how much margin we want in that period. Competitive pressures in bidding for content would lead us to have slightly less content than we would otherwise, rather than overspending. The same is true for our marketing budget. The output variable is membership growth that those spending choices influence.We are targeting a 16% operating margin in 2020 and plan to steadily increase operating profit and margin from there as we balance growth with profitability.With our rapid increase in content spending, and our growing emphasis on owned original productions, cash outlays are initially greater than content amortization, constraining free cash flow relative to profitability. We have generally funded these cash pre-pay needs with debt. We amortize content as quickly as justified, given industry norms and viewing history.GlobalNetflix is available virtually everywhere except in China. Our growth internationally will unfold over many years as we improve our service. In the 130+ new markets we launched in 2016, we started by primarily targeting outward-looking, affluent consumers with international credit cards and smartphones. As with every market we’ve launched, our approach is to listen, learn and improve rapidly, adding more content, languages and a better Netflix experience over time to delight members.We understand that awareness of Netflix in these new markets is mixed and that there are cultural differences and some variances in content tastes around the world. There are also challenges with the broadband and payment infrastructures in certain countries. But we also believe in the growing ubiquity of the internet and rapid technological progress and that great, high-quality storytelling has universal appeal that transcends borders.That’s why we are increasingly licensing and producing content all across the globe and Netflix members everywhere in the world can increasingly enjoy the same movies and TV series at the same time, free of legacy business models and outdated restrictions. In addition, we are developing a growing number of non-English language originals from places such as Mexico, France, Italy, Japan and Brazil, to name just a few. With our global distribution, Netflix is well positioned to bring engaging stories from many cultures to people all across the globe.As Netflix expands globally, we understand that consumers and governments' expectations will rise. We expect to meet those expectations and work with policymakers to ensure that the old policies that applied to linear TV are not reflexively applied to streaming entertainment.ConclusionWe started in 1997 as a DVD-rental-by-mail firm, and spent the first five years struggling to get to a sustainable model that was cash flow positive. We spent most of the next five years fighting with Blockbuster in the US. We began streaming in the US in 2007, and internationally in 2010. Our sobering Qwikster DVD misstep was in 2011. Our first original series debuted in 2013. We became global in 2016, nearly twenty years after starting Netflix. Over the following decades, streaming entertainment will replace linear TV, and we hope to keep leading by offering an amazing entertainment experience.[Updated January 21, 2020]This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding our outlook concerning the development of internet TV and the decline of linear TV; the scope, timing and players involved in this transformation to internet TV; our approach to being an internet TV network, including improvements to our service features and content licensing, development and financing; content, marketing and technology and development spending; the impact of competition; our relationship with ISPs; strategy for China; international growth, localization of our service; our margin structure, including US and global contribution margins; subscriber growth; revenue, operating profit and cash flow; and government relations
