Blueray Blank Discs & Burners - Worth the cost ?
Blueray Blank Discs & burners - worth the cost for the same data as 5.5 DVDr
(4.5gb) discs and about 10 times the price of a burner ?
For personal backup storage lets look at these:
TV EPs - 44 mins - 350MB AVI XVID/MP3 or AC3 or Anime in 720 (25mins)
* DVD = 8 hours xvid = 4.4 gig disc ( 11 x 350 ) ( Half Season )
* BlueRay = 48 Hours Xvid = 25 gig disc ( 66 x 350 ) ( 3 seasons )
Movies DVD Rips or TVEP HDTV720p - 700 MB AVI XVID/MP3 or AC3 - 88 mins
* DVD = 8.8 hours xvid = 4.4 gig disc ( 6 x 700 ) ( Six movies @ 88 mins each or 3 movies @ 176 mins )
* BlueRay = 48.4 Hours Xvid = 25 gig disc ( 33 x 700 ) ( 33 movies @ 88 mins each or 16 movies @ 176 mins )
Anime - 175MB AVI XVID/Mp3/OGG (25mins)
* DVD = 10 Hours = 4.4 gig disc ( 25 x 175MB ) (25 eps @ 24 mins )
* Blueray = 55 Hours = 25 gig disc ( 137 x 175MB ) ( 137 eps @ 24 mins )
Cost Ratio:
I recently got a pack of 100 TDK 'GOLD' CMC Media DVDR-R 16x discs at K-mart for AU$35.00
Thats 4.4 gig x 100 = 440 gig
Now compare that to Blueray BLANK Disc (ONE of) that is currently around AU$30 to AU$70
for one disc that is 25 gig , its not worth it .
DVD Burners , about AU$30 to AU$70
Blueray burner I saw at gamedude: AU$760ish , yeah thats like 10 dvd burners or more
