I've downloaded some very good quality video transfers from Archive.org. Unfortunately the new posts usually are not on Mpeg2, so I have to be happy with the many that are. MP4 is the new file type of choice on many new posts, but they are always formatted for a 16:9 tv screen which is not what I use with my theatre.
There may be new technologies, but for my hobby and home theatre, DVD and BluRay work fine with excellent picture on the big theatre screen. With DVD Shrink I can assemble the shorts, cartoons and trailers as well as break the feature for an intermission title, since I usually have guests who want at least one break during the feature.
It is old technology, but with a large collection of DVDs that will take many years to show at my weekly movie parties, I'll stick with the old.
