Questions about backing up Blu-ray, and Blu-ray in general

smirnoff · 05-09-2008, 10:00 AM

I've been reading through a few articles and guides I googled, some old some new, and am having a hard time getting a feel for where we're at as far as backing up blu-ray movies goes.

Are all the current copy protections already cracked?
Will a backed-up movie play on most players; ie PS3 or stand-alone player?
Is blank media really 10-15$ a disc?! wtf

How overpriced is this stuff right now?

I mean come on, are there really more expensive components in a Bluray burner than a dvd burner? Or is this just the typical pricing strategy that dvd writers and media went through some years ago?

Doesn't Any-DVD pretty much crack anything at this point?

SlySoft AnyDVD HD

But yeah, blank discs are prohibitively expensive right now. Get a big honking hard drive and convert stuff to Divx.

Yeah, Or I suppose you could just store it until the price comes down. Good idea.

	A Texan, Visiting Newfoundland, told a local about the size of his ranch. "I can drive my pickup for a day and a night, and still not leave my land." "Oh yeah," said the Newfie "I used to have a truck like that."
