I am sorry but as I.T. worker for 15 years ago, DVDs disc are outdated IMO. I have a small WDTV Live USB media player that connect on HDMI port. This device is not bigger than a pack of cigarette (I don't smoke, but it's for reference) then I have a small 500 GB USB portable hard drive (2.5 inch, self powered, no power-pack), which is about same size as the media player and on the drive I have over 200 DVD (images rip of my own DVD, no downscale image quality). So what do you want more? 200 movies in the size of a pack of cigarettes! ;)
I have been in IT for just as long, and I agree for the most part disc media is a pain in the butt, but they sure aren't dead. For lots of people DVD/BR are great media delivery devices, Broadband internet penetration is abysmal in the US and download/streaming is not an option for a great many people (especially many who full time RV using cellular or satellite internet).
Also many Smart TVs these days have the equivalent of that WDTV box built in, so I say get one that is a combo DVD/BR/SmartTV, less clutter and less******to plug in, just load up a few flash drives or a USB hard drive with movies.
