Netflix DVD rental was a service offered by Netflix where customers could rent DVDs and Blu-rays by mail. This service, which began in 1998, allowed subscribers to choose movies and TV shows from Netflix’s extensive catalog, receive them by mail, and return them after watching. The service offered various subscription plans based on the number of DVDs a person could rent at a time and how many rentals they could make per month. But we still can use some other ripping software to rip blu-ray to mp4, so that we can watch the films in our mobile devices.
Netflix’s DVD rental business began in 1998, long before the rise of streaming services. Co-founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, Netflix initially offered a unique alternative to traditional video rental stores like Blockbuster. For a flat monthly fee, customers could rent DVDs by mail, with no late fees and the convenience of keeping the discs for as long as they wanted. The red envelopes, which contained the DVDs, quickly became synonymous with Netflix’s brand.
At its peak, Netflix’s DVD rental service boasted millions of subscribers and a massive catalog of titles, ranging from the latest blockbusters to obscure indie films. It provided movie lovers with unprecedented access to films that were often unavailable in local video rental stores. But we can convert Blu-ray to mp4 or other formats to better collect our precious collection. I have tried MakeMKV and Handbrake (such those open source software), but they cannot rip blu-ray by themself.
