So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

    Yes, they can still be used in a variety of ways:

    1. Data storage: You can still use them for storage of your files, photos, or videos. They’re excellent for backup purposes. Especially in the case of important documents or cherished pictures, having a physical copy can be more lasting and more resistant to loss caused by computer malfunctions.

    2. Home video or audio disc: You can use the DVD to store old recorded home videos with a DVD burner for Mac or Windows, or create a music disc for vehicles or players that still have DVD players.

    3. DIY projects: Some people use them as coasters, window deterrents for birds, or even as part of a Halloween costume.

    Although DVDs may feel like a thing of the past, there are still a number of uses you can repurpose them for.
