Hi Thomas,
Yes, sorry to see the DVDs and Blu Ray discs go, along with the art of creating them. My first suggestion is to do a little more editing to get the size down to where it will fit on the disc. That is the number one challenge for all of us, creating a video that fits
You can burn a folder to a memory card or flash drive and some software can play that just like it is a DVD, but that is not every device or every piece of video software that can do that. The thing about video on flash drives or streaming is that you can skip around the video without needing menus and chapter markers. The person viewing the video can skip to any point at any time, no menu required.
I have converted all of my videos to MP4 and put them onto a portable 2 TB hard drive that I connect to my TV, it's just that easy now. I have them separated into folders by year and the videos have a good descriptive name. There are a lot of things I like about this technology and then there are times I miss just putting a disc in the player. I enjoyed creating menus for the DVDs that I produced, but also enjoy not having to do that anymore
Hope that helps.
