So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

Something that isn't High Def to begin with like DS9

Dont mind me, I'll be crying in the corner here with my dashed hopes of DS9 ever getting re-mastered.

Iirc, part of the problem is that DS9 was filmed on standard definition video, which you can't really upscale without things getting weird or ugly. TNG was recorded on film, which can be scanned in high resolution.

I think it'll happen eventually. I was shocked when B5 got the sprucing up that it did. The tools to do even a semi-remaster are getting better and cheaper and generative AI is making it a much less labor intensive proposition.
