As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market

This is good news. I burn my some of my medias to DVD and Blu-ray discs.
Hi, I have some questions about this. I'm interested in storing movies and tv shows on Blu ray discs. If I burn video formats onto discs how hard is it to get those to play back on various different Blu ray players. I imagine it's simple when it's connected to a PC but what about through typical Blu ray players you might plug into your tv or a gaming console like a PS4?
As long as they are the right region format for the DVD player they should be fine. Ripped files don't really have region formats anymore, but you can add the appropriate one in most burners.
You can also get region agnostic players but that's probably harder to do now than just making all your media in the right format.
Thanks
Okay so I've just tested it. I took a DVD that was in PAL format and ripped it, when I burn it to another disc It now doesn't have any region protection at all so I guess the readers just totally remove it, so you probably don't even need to add a region.
I only have a PS5 to test it on and it worked okay on the PS5 I don't know about random crappy DVD players you got from the supermarket they might not work.
Also that was a DVD not a Blu-ray because I have literally no idea how you would even burn blu-rays, is it even a thing, regardless I don't think I can do it.
