M-disk is currently the ONLY semi-permanent solution, unless you want to pay big $$$ to have your disks stamped like a store-bought movie!Īnyway, when those 25GB m-Disks become available (they only come in single layer because they actually etch the information into a non-transparent stone-like layer) I will splurge and get the Blu-ray burner.Let’s start with DVD media itself, the optical disc. Even then, don't expect 100% of your data to be there after 7 years or so. Possibly more if they are extremely good quality and you keep them out of the sun, away from temperature extremes and in a cool, dry and dark place. The average burnable disk that uses dye will last, if you're lucky, about 7 years. And they can withstand completely unreasonable torture (I saw a video showing the tester submerging an m-Disk alternately into boiling water and liquid nitrogen and the disk still worked!). What is m-Disk, one might ask? These are disks that are designed to last at least 1000 years. These disks do not require a special burner, but should work with most modern Blu-ray burners. The Blu-ray version of the m-disk was supposed to be released last August but got delayed to Q1/2014.

Speaking of which, I currently have a DVD burner that can burn m-disks and I've burned some of my most crucial files onto it, like family pictures, etc. And decent burners, which were over $200 just a few years ago, are now well under $100.

Yeah, I had a cheap DVD player years ago that apparently didn't even read the region code on the disk and would play any DVD I popped in it, including ones whose resolution was outside of the capabilities of my TV (I'm NTSC, which has fewer lines, so PAL DVDs would just be cropped at the bottom - It didn't scale unfortunately - and the video would play slightly faster!).īut yeah, you can find good BD-R disks (such as Verbatim) for around $1 each if you look hard enough or buy them in large enough quantities - say, spindles of 50 or more. The AVC/H.264 Video codec is the same used for both BD and AVCHD production. If you are shooting in AVC/H.264 (which you will be), there is no good reason for you to then produce output in BD using MPEG2 for the video compression. The easiest way to do this is to just burn your BD project to your HDD then use IMGBURN to burn the structure to your blank DVD.

File Structures / Formats (eg those used by BD and AVCHD)įor what it is worth I've happily burnt BD structures to DVD Media and it plays back just fine on the Majority of HW and SW players though as some will refuse to play them it is worth testing a sample.

System specs: Windows 7 Professional 圆4 Gigabyte Z77-DS3H motherboard with i5-3579K 3.8Ghz processor with 32GB RAM Zotac GTX 760 w/4GB 1xWestern Digital 1TB 10,000RPM HD 1x Samsung 840 Pro SSD System DriveįYI - you may want to have a scan of this thread You should be fine using h.264 at around 25mbps and but it's always a good idea to test your prototype disks on an actual Blu-ray player (more than one, if possible - cheapo and higher quality players) just to make sure.

I'm pretty sure that the DVD standard allows for a maximum of about 8mbps, but that's rarely used (most top quality DVDs are around 6mbps) and this is for standard definition resolutions and framerates or if I remember correctly).įor playback on a Blu-ray player, mpeg-2 is not the most efficient codec to use, nor is it the most supported for HD playback (it has been superceded by mp4/h.264). Well, one problem is that although mpeg-2 can have very high bitrates (greater than 30mbps - HD territory), not all players will support this maximum.
