hi, nice to meet ya. to meet ya, nice. so I'm about to take the plunge into Blu-Ray and buy a $200 dollar burner and the cheapest discs (25gig) I can find @ 25/$3.00ea. Are these prices ok or can I do better? It seems the prices have come down as I've been reading some posts from last summer about drives @ $400+. Also, I've been burnin' for years with dvdshrink/fab/others...any big differences that I should be aware of in terms of being 1 click and go, or is there more work involved now? Something about not getting english? I haven't read the informational sticky yet, but will do. Do programs like anydvd hd 'compress' the files or copy the whole movie without losing quality? Just trying to get some ideas so I don't become a $3 coaster manufacturer. Thanks 4 any guidance...
the burner is about right the media I would spend the extra money and get some Verbatim blanks they cost about 65 USD for a 10 pack but they are higher quality and with blanks I feel you get what you pay for AnyDVD HD will only rip the movie to your HD from there I use BD rebuilder to compress the movie to BD25 and use IMGburn to burn the data to a BD-R
hey guys...didn't deem it necessary to start a new thread for this. I'm ready to give this a try today. I've giving anydvdhd a look as it seems to be highly recomended. I've never had to use it before with regular dvds, so I'm not too familiar yet. I see a burn to image (iso I'm assuming) or hardrive option when I right click in the taskbar. Now when I did this with regular dvds, I would write the image to blank media with a program like nero, afterwords. I'm assuming nero wont work for this? My brdvd writer came with a program called bdsolutions..haven't checked it out in detail yet. Also, what's recommended, saving as an image or saving files to hard drive? I have done some reading in the forum, but there's a LOT of info which is a bit overwhelming. Thanks
sorry to double post. Ok, I got the movie to the hard drive with anydvdhd. There's a "BDMV" and a "Certificate" file. Now how do I get it to disc? Is this going to take 20 hours??? I read that somewhere in another post.
i would spend abit more on bd-re at least five of them iam using memorex 15pk 4x spindle i bought it for 45.00 i used around 100 of them so far 2 coasters which is my fault
wow, 3 bucks each for higher quality is good..thanks djkrishna..I'll look for those. now about the brmv+certificate folders on my hard drive (yesman from anydvdhd)..they're 28.5 gigs combined, my current blank media is 25gb. What tool should I use to compress and burn to disk.
