The Future of Netflix's DVD Business in a Streaming World.

Netflix's decision to end its DVD rental service marks the end of an era for physical media enthusiasts, including those who cherish the service for its vast collection of classic and art films. While the market for physical media is shrinking, companies like Vantiva still produce hundreds of millions of discs every year. The end of Netflix's DVD rental service not only cuts off those who have not made the switch to streaming but also deprives all of us of tens of thousands of films. The decision could mark a major shift in the fortunes of companies that produce DVDs and may be the beginning of the end for the format.
