Hey Vasco,

Yes, the Smart TV’s are getting smarter, whilst less intuitive as they want to squeeze all the functionality onto your standard TV remote control.

A few suggestions:

Have you tried Cyberlink’s Power2Go?
I am not a great fan of Cyberlink, as they continuously spam you with the same massive discount, as a new discount. Which I am sure goes against the advertising rules in the UK – where you cannot call something a discount, if it in effect is the permanent price of product.
Setting that aside, I use Power2Go to burn all of my back-up discs on, and will continue to do so – as I never want to author a DVD again, I can’t vouch for that part. But encourage you to try it.

Alternatively, you could go the route of hosting everything on-line as a stream, like a VOD service.
I have one client that are very happy with WebTV – they are small outfit, but if you want something personal, then that is a good place to start. You will need to had a service that can host your 4K files, and have bandwidth to stream them.

Other alternatives are accessing your media through a gaming console like the XBox, or Amazon Fire stick and Apple TV + more would likely want you to add your photos, music and films to their services – just be careful, as you might lend them a hand, and lose your arm + give up control of your media.

There is no perfect solution to your question, but plenty of options.

My own kids just about knows what a DVD disc are, but never used them at home – soon I shall entertain them with my LP collection…
