The decline of video optical discs

Samsung and Oppo are no longer selling Blu-Ray players (in the US at least). Even movie theaters have declining ticket sales due to faster home streaming and larger HDTVs. Also most (if not all) new HDTVs can stream MP4 from USB input.

Hi Igor,

I can't speak for others but 4K blu-ray output is not something I would use in PTE. Streaming video is much more convenient if you have high speed internet ( >= 5 Mbps) or a modern HDTV or other video device with USB MP4 input.

I would like to use AV1 output and AVIF input in future versions of PTE when it becomes popular.

Thanks,
Tom
