But if I take it into my head to watch "Yawara A fashionable Judo girl"
the DVD is waiting as others.

As do I. But I also check my lists and purchase new discs each year
(not a lot, not any more) and DVDs are still available, even for films
that are quite new.

I'm not sure something that is still being manufactured (last Jan I
purchased, among others, /Drive-Away Dolls/, which was released in
2024). Were DVD obsolete, I would expect this (and others) to be
available only on BD. But that is not the case.

And BD players will play DVD discs, however far their heart is from
wanting to do it well.
