Still well over double the price of BDR-25s, but there you go.

Call me when there is an easier way to make copies of Blu-Ray discs, that doesnt involve extracting .264 files or whatever. ]]>Apr 14th 2009 11:24PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/The cost for the hard drive is actually less, as you will most likely not fill up the BD-R drive every time, which raises the unit cost of the disks accordingly.

And don't tell me the media will drop in price, because the hard drive storage price will also drop accordingly. Actually the $85 will stay the same, the hard drive capacity will just increase.]]>Apr 14th 2009 10:51PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/I want to stick the disc in and play on my ps3, then play the disc on my laptops BD-rom.]]>Apr 15th 2009 12:38AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/
If you decided to try burning, let us know how it goes. I'm probably not the only one that would like to see your results.]]>Apr 15th 2009 12:52AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/
However, I'm still surprised that whenever we talk Blu-ray, so many people make totally uneducated statements, and have totally unrealistic expectations.

BD-R playback results won't be as good as DVD? When it actually is... and so far doesn't suffer from rot issues. Call me when BD drives are $50.00? When that's actually *cheaper* than most good DVD-R drives are today.

It took DVD-R forever to get to 8x, and Blu-ray's 8x is a *much* higher data rate. This early in the format's life, that $249.99 price is awesome, and will absolutely burn disks that playback on most BD players.

Then there is the whole darn question of BD media costs as a viable solution for movies unless you are a) personally authoring your own content, b) need a optical disk solution for mobility, and c) just cannot deal with mobile hard disk transport for one's mobility needs.]]>Apr 16th 2009 9:08PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/14/pioneer-debuts-249-99-8x-bdr-2203-internal-blu-ray-burner/http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Shop/DVD-Burners/Blu-ray+Drives/BDR-2203


I'm looking to create a blu-ray of some of my DVD movies and I want to create my own menu.

Anyone?
