Apple has long been making handsets thinner, lower in power, and quieter, resulting in a number of I / O ports being sacrificed . Optical drives are no exception, and Apple hasn't released a Mac with an optical drive at the end of 2017.
In addition, Apple has been distributing video content on iTunes since the days before video streaming services became mainstream. Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing director at the time, said, 'If you want to watch HD movies on a Mac, it's best to go through iTunes.' Claims to be excellent.
Apple was away from optical discs early on, but the reason why Apple created DVD discs for original movies is that the blog the nougatmachine says, 'Given Apple's recent history and exclusive content for subscribers, I know there shouldn't be such a disc. So why is there a DVD disc for Coda Coder Ainouta? It's the same as the movie was shown in a movie theater, and it's an award-winning disc. Because it's the season. '
Distributors often send pre-screening screeners to organizations that have the right to vote for Academy Awards , such as filmmakers' associations, critic associations, and Academy members. This practice is also practiced in video streaming services, and like Apple, it creates DVD discs of original works and distributes them to critics.

Only DVD discs of 'Coda Coda Ainouta' with the 'Apple Original Films' logo and documents with a synopsis and strict caution regarding pirated editions according to industry practice.
This document states, 'Warning: It is illegal to copy and distribute this work without permission. Criminal piracy, including infringement without financial gain, will be investigated by the FBI, and up to 5 You may be sentenced to imprisonment in federal prison for the year and a fine of $ 250,000. '
Below is a photo of the screener distributed by Warner Bros. The nougatmachine says, 'As with almost all screeners, the space for storing the disc is very narrow, and it's not easy to grab the disc or loosen the sleeve, so it's surprisingly frustrating to pull out the disc. Why is this happening? You may have wanted to make it the same size as a commercial DVD case, but the commercial DVD case has claws that are convenient for taking out and storing. If you have a keen insight, you'll find that the screener in this example is a Blu-ray disc, and a commercial Blu-ray case is shorter than a DVD case. ' It is.
Instead of sticking a sticker on the surface of the screener disc, Apple etches the logo. About this, the nougatmachine said, 'The generation that remembers the early CDs may find it retro appealing, but now that it's 2022, we have more expectations for optical media packaging. Regardless of the nature, such an appearance would cause the disc to be stored upside down, causing fingerprints and scratches on the reading surface. '
In addition, the menu screen of Apple's screener disc is as follows. It's a very simple menu with only two buttons displayed, and there is no waiting animation. 'Just insert the disc and play the movie, nothing else,' said the nougat machine.
Since 'Coda Coda Ainouta' is a work in which many sign languages appear, the contents of the sign language are explained in subtitles for viewers. The nougatmachine describes the subtitle as 'consisting of clunky, low-resolution text and unattractive typography.'
'Coda Coda Ainouta' was released in Japan on January 21, 2022, and won the Best Picture Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, and Best Supporting Actor Award at the 94th Academy Awards .
