So Many Blu-ray Burner Choices! Do We Care?
September 24, 2008
Sony and Buffalo have just announced new 8x Blu-ray burners. It looks like you'll be able to record content onto a 25 GB BD-R in just 15 minutes time.
Sounds great, right? But I wonder just what people are hoping to burn. Right now I would assume that at least legally, this means high-def content from digital camcorders and/or anything people have streamed/downloaded? It's not like you can make a copy of your Blu-ray film with these burners.
Just curiously doing a quick Google Search, I did find a step-by-step method to rip your Blu-ray titles onto computers for eventual burning via these such drives. They promise the created discs would then play on current Blu-ray set-tops and Playstation 3s.
I am definitely not what you'd call 'technically totally on top of it.'
But these instructions to use your burners to record Blu-ray titles seems atrociously confusing.
Thankfully, more and more Blu-ray titles are offering legal digital copies...but generally you'll be seeing these files in standard-definition.
Please feel free to argue how 8x Blu-ray burners will improve your life in a big way! Maybe I'm just missing something totally obvious.
