I bought a BluRay burner. Great. The discs can hold 25 or 50GB of data, depending on whether you buy a single-layer or dual-layer disc, just like you have with DVD’s. You cannot burn BDMV’s, since modern settop-players don’t allow BDMV to be played from BD-R or BD-RE’s (just the crippled BDAV).
\nOn Ubuntu you can’t play BluRay discs because of the stupid closed-source protection mechanism. And to top it all of, the software that comes with the burner (Cyberlink) doesn’t run under Virtual Machines (the way I use Windows) after the mandatory update (because I want to play BluRay content)….<\/p>\n
So, I now have a 160 euro backup device, with 50GB discs that cost me about 16-20 euro’s, whereas I could have bought a DVD-DL burner for about 25 euro, and buy blank DVD’s costing close to nothing (60-80 eurocents, so about 4 euros per 50GB).<\/p>\n
