I have been using DVD Fab to copy DVDs for some time. I back up my discs for my personal use. I want to do the same with Blu Ray. I have waited till I thought that the software had developed and the recorders and media prices came down to a reasonable point. I think I am about at a point to purchase but I have a few questions you guys may be able to help me with.
It seems there are several different kinds of BR discs. Most of the lower priced BR internal drive Player/burners will burn the the 25 GB BD-R and BD-RW discs. Then they will play the BD-R DL & the BD-RW DL.
I notice the units that will also record the 50 GB dual layer discs are about 40-50% higher in price. The blank media is really expensive! One of my questions is......If all I want to do is backup a prerecorded BR movie what disc/recorder do I need to accomplish it without compression? In other words usually how big is the file or info on a prerecorded BR movie (just the feature)? Can I use the regular 25 GB media or will I need the DL stuff?
I see a Sony internal SATA BR player recorder that plays and records all standard format stuff and plays or is "compatable" with the DL stuff for $99.99 at Tiger Direct.
It's discs are $2 each. The DVDFab Blu Ray Copy software is $60. I would probably use it since I already have the DVD Copy. All together a $190 investment (including the 15 discs) to get started. Not too bad!
Please tell me if I am on the right track. What do I need to make an uncompressed copy of a BR movie? Thanks for the info! Franksta
