    My movies/show are in .mp4 and no problem, so long as the original is a   
   good print.

     Same here.   
     I have stacks of DVD-RW's.  A few DVD-R if something I want to really   
   save.   That is often rare, unless some special film I want to watch again.   
     I use CD-RW's as well, and CD-R if I want a permanent record.  I could   
   put a lot more .mp3's on a DVD, but if one fails they are all lost.  (This if   
   is for my old time radio collection).

     I use the Windows media player as a rule for .mp4's with Real Player   
   sometimes.  I also use VLC from time to time if one others can't read the   
   file.    
   RP is used mostly for old radio shows.

     My problem is getting around to watching something I might rent.   
     I have movies I'll collect over the years and watch whenever I want or   
   have time, etc.   
     I prefer watching movies in order over the years.  I'll start in say   
   1940, then 1941, 1942, etc.  I might find a film from previous years later on   
   that are saved and it might a year or two before I get back to that time.
