Anyone else doing or thinking of doing a blu-ray video this year? Currently looking into it and still would need a burner. At least prices of discs have come down drastically. Looks like $2 a disc will get you good ones. The problem is I see they are only 4x. Want 6x plan on $10 a disc. 4x and I presume that means 30 minutes to burn a 2hr video.
I also understand some of the cheaper blu-ray players being sold won't play burned blu-ray discs. I forget the details of that, but that fact alone makes me leery of doing this. I'm sure most would just assume their player would support burned blu-rays rather than research to make sure. Then they'd complain it won't play your disc, even if you listed that little fact in the first place and it was/should be on them.
Pricing would have to be $10 more than a regular dvd just for the headache of it all I'd think. The problem with not doing it is simply the fact a whole heck of a lot of folks now have blu-ray players and HD tv's and probably wouldn't even bother with buying SD now.
Thoughts? I guess 30 minutes to burn a disc can be dealt with easy enough. $2/disc isn't scary like $10+ was.
