TL;DR

Linus and the LTT crew decided to marathon Rambo: First Blood across ten different home-video formats—from vintage Betamax, CED VideoDisc, LaserDisc and VHS, through Video CD and DVHS, all the way up to DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray—to compare picture, sound and sheer nostalgia factor. Along the way they riff on each format’s quirks, talk about what makes some of these dead-and-buried technologies still worth hunting down, and drop timestamps for every viewing.

They also sprinkle in affiliate and sponsor links (hello, Secretlab, PIA VPN, dbrand and boot.dev) plus merch and Floatplane plugs, wrap up with a quick conclusion on format fidelity vs. convenience, and remind you that Linus is an investor in Framework Computers.
