thanks for the info Dave.
however reading that there might be incompatibilities, i have decided to buy a few BD-Rs at the cost of 10 dollars each! Hope I dont get any coasters.
Man, its like reliving the SVCD vs DVD days, when DVDs were too expensive (and we would make Divx CDs). I am still waiting for these things (bluray disks) to drop in all cities in the world.
