DVD

Hello

When I talk about hobby, a friend of mine said "My hobby is watching DVD." I said
" That's strange. The matter is what you enjoy watching on DVD not watching DVD like watching movies or something on DVD." But she replied she can't specify the genre.
If she doesn't care what to watch, does the expression "My hobby is watching DVD." sounds natural to native speakers? Would you give me some comment?

Thank you.

When DVD first came into market, it wasn’t a big hit as expected because most people still had the VCR which could only play the VHS tapes and the price of DVD player would cost you a couple of Benjamins . People would rather keep the VCR and wait till the price came d
