This is more or less for informational purposes and those who don't want 4K, but hopefully may help out a few.
I scanned John Wick 1-4 UPC's and got all in HDX for $8 and tax.
Top Gun: Maverick is also available for $2 + tax for the transfer.
The quality is fine for me and thought it was a decent deal. Figured anyone who wants to go through this process can add it to their fandango/vudu library.

100 missing movies you would notice inmediately...
People like me if buying bluray, always get the ones with digital just in case so I would notice even if 1 is missing.
Could be totally off base here, but I've been getting the vibe that they might be phasing out D2D before too long, so get em while you can.
Same here. I used to be able to do this easily. The phone scans the UPC on the computer screen and detects the movie. Now the app takes a picture of the UPC instead of autoscanning?
Used.
I keep all of mine in the original cases, in a dark area, and fairly well climate controlled. And while I have not yet had disc rot per say....I have opened cases and found "cloudiness" on discs that had never been used. And, while they did play..they paused and skipped and a few froze.
I guess really the best option is to buy discs, back then up using a ripper and play off the backup and hope that and the disc don't go bad at the same time.
I was really surprised by the expected longevity of the different formats. I thought they would be about the same as DVDs.
4K Disc-10-12 years
BLURAY 10-25 YEARS
DvD-25-100 years.
But the truth is, we don't really know for sure, because accelerated-aging torture tests might not reflect reality. And even if there is a little disc rot, as long as it's not pervasive, so what if once in a while one in a million pixels is slightly wrong color or whatever? It's still OK, unless you're an archivist aiming for zero errors.
Similar story for DVDs. And yeah I remember those Taiyo Yuden Japan discs were in high demand. Rima still exists and sells some discs, too! Other stores sometimes sold lesser TYs intended for sale in Mexico.
