Yeah !!!

Sony's have always seemed to be pretty good Disc IMHO anyways whether MIT or The BeloVed and somewhat Mythical { Now anyways } MIj's The only downside to the sony disc is The Obscure Malaysia Made disc Which Though I've never used yet ! I have gotten the general impression from the Forum community that They is not so good ? I did email Sony/Malaysia once and About who actually Makes Their Malaysian Made disc and was Politely or Impolitely Told To Mind my own bussiness !!!!!!!!!! But hey MiT Sony , Mij If you can find any these days Work just Fine so why worry Right ???????? Ciao !!!!!

Nice deal!! I better NOT..

 

LOL! Ball and chain? I may have to buy some media myself here soon. I'm about to start going ape $h!t on burning some archived data, and when I do that, discs start going quickly LOL!
About to open a new batch of MKM 001's (Singapore Dual layer Verbs) Though I might start backing up SOME of my BD's to single layer dvds @ 720P. Speed 1994 really did look quite agreeable. Noticeably better than dvd.

 

I absolutely agree with that statement... I only have a 32" TV but it's amazing the difference between a BD backup and a DVD backup...

NOT ball and chain... "monetary adviser" is more like it... If I didn't have 1000+ on da shelf right now I"d buy at least 300!!!

 

I have a 50" plasma in the living room. BIG difference LOL! My brother has a 42" 1080P LCD TV. Also a huge difference. I'm quickly becoming spoiled to high definition content LOL!
Some of my longer movies though, E.g. Harry potter, would do better to back up to Dual layer dvds. Or when Titanic finally comes out. That's also a very long movie

 

I can't imagine a 8GB backup of a QUALITY movie... BR Discs are ridiculously expensive and anyone NOT using DVD-9 or DVD-5 for backups is INSANE!!!

 

There are some movies, that I wouldn't mind simply shrinking from BD50, down to BD25 via BD rebuilder. The only reason I haven't, is because the media is ridiculously expensive, unreliable, and there are very few players that will handle the burned media from what I've read. In fact, the PS3 may be the only reliable player. Though quite a bit of time has passed since I heard that. Perhaps other companies have produced players that support the burned media. Even still, the burnable media is unacceptably expensive. I won't touch it with a ten foot pole...

 

GM,
My best DVD ever, was a DVD-5 I made of Batman Begins. It was 8.2GB. After a trip through DVDRB/CCE, it looks fabulous! I sent Fred a copy to evaluate, just ask him about the video quality!

Best Regards,
Russ

 

Russ NO doubt it was great quality but BD backups are so frikkin good it's stupid... you have to check one out. I really notice it on the kiddy movies... for some reason the animated movies just pop in BD.

 

Buy.com has 100 pack - X16 Verbatum DVD+Rs for $19.99 and free shippng.

 

good find there Lurth. thanks!!

 

PC build thread blank media thread Ultimate DVD Backup resource thread what did binkie7 do to me???- Souns like the ld Vegas Joke - A Visitor To Las Vegas Tells The Cocktail Waitress ' Sweetie Bring Me 1 Manhattan every 15 minutes Till I pass out !!!!! the waitress says and then what ? after that 1 every hour honey !!! LOL!!!

 

Briefly OT then right back on... ROFL.

BT69... it's CREAKY not me that said that and he has them often... some of the best quotes on the AD forums if you ask me. Nephy was quite good too... but as he is just hit and run now it's just a shame. I think that ddp could have some potential but he keeps his to a sentence minimum.

OK... back On Topic... That last 2 deals posted were/are very good... hope someone took advantage!!!

 

greensman: Would U consider an MKV as the same Quality as a BD
I've had the opportunity to watch King Kong the extended Ver, in both Blu-ray on a Blu-ray Disc,and MKV Converted to Blu-ray om a 4.3, and on my WD Media Player. In it's full MKV form of 8.5 Gig

My own Opinion being,is that their is no Difference
Would like too know your opinion

As it stands for me right now, I'm going to invest in some DVD 9 [Dual Layer] to see if their is a significant difference between 4.3 and 9.0

Also have tried RUSS's method of converting to a Standard DVD. Which turns out to be far Superior to a Regular DVD Rip.

Unfortunately ! Once a Blu-ray is made the Computer no longer reads a Disc in a Standard Drive. U need a BD READER OR WRITER, SO I HAVE 2 WAIT UNTIL THE BD Writers come down in price to around 100.00 bucks B4 I buy one
But fortunately I have a Samsung BD-P1500 that I paid 99.00 for to Watch BD Movies
Also I have a Western Digital USB 2.0 WD TV Live Network-Ready HD Media Player. Which is compatibable to all my FORMATS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...rives+-+External-_-Western+Digital-_-22136472

Compatibility:
HDMI, Full HD (1080p), AAC, MP3, JPEG, USB 2.0, H.264, SimplayHD, Energy Star, Dolby Digital, DTS,
Pay particulars to AAC and DTS
My own Opinion is AC3 is of a good enough Quality, with half as many MBs . But it's a BEECH havinG to Convert AAC & DTS to AC3. Therefore comes into play my MEDIA Player Live
Converting to BD or DVD no problem with any type of Audio
Will be glad when they come out with a DivX, MKV Player with AAC, & DTS compatibility

 

MKV vs BD: I would say it has more to do with Bitrate, then the actual container. Container being E.g. Avi, mp4, MKV, M2TS, Mov, Mpg, etc, etc. I have noticed, that the AVCHD format given by Ripbot264, produces a M2TS file, which is BD compliant. Essentially, it is a very compressed blu ray.
single layer vs Dual layer dvd: I would say it depends on the length of the movie. Once again, Bitrate. Speed 1994 is just under 2 hrs. It looks good on a 50" 720P plasma screen. I downscaled it from 1080 to 720P single layer. It may have taken a significant loss though. I believe its bitrate was around 4600Kb/s average. I recall thinking that was bare minimum during my testing. I went as far as 3,000 KB/s and was impressed anyway. The X264 codec is highly advanced coding It literally smokes the divx/Xvid codec. WAYY better. On dual layer encodes, I average around 7500 - 9,000. I believe 9,000 and above look lossless. But I could be mistaken. It could be possible to go further. My display is not large enough to comment. Perhaps soon though, I can get a larger display
