Why Physical Media Still Matters

Arrow Video’s October slate perfectly illustrates why physical media remains essential:

🎬 Quality That Streaming Can’t Match

Dolby Vision from Original Negatives: These aren’t upscaled digital masters — they’re new scans from original film elements
Lossless Audio: Uncompressed audio tracks that streaming services heavily compress
No Bandwidth Limitations: Full bitrate, every time, regardless of your internet connection

📚 Extras That Tell the Story

Each Arrow Video release comes loaded with:

Audio commentaries from filmmakers and scholars
Feature-length documentaries
Collector’s booklets with essays and artwork
Reversible cover art
Behind-the-scenes features

💰 Ownership vs. Licensing

When you buy a physical disc, you own it. No streaming service can remove it from your library, raise the price, or change the content.
