Yeah, that's the one I was looking at. $229 at Newegg.I don't know if I agree about the interest level though. Not counting yourself, Dan Pellegrini is the only person who asked about it so far. My experience is rather that most folks say "DVD is good enough." Even my tech-crazed co-workers with their 50" plasma TVs are saying this. Perhaps this will change this Christmas season, in which Costco and Wal-Mart are both offering multiple $185 players. But I keep flipping it over and over in my head whether it's worth buying the burner yet...

Erik,How much is the Blu-Ray burner that you would need. I know you can get a blu-Ray burner relatively inexpensive but I don't know if it will suit your needs. <http://www.amazon.com/LG-GGW-H20L-Super-Multi-Blue/dp/B000Y1AFCS/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228751555&sr=8-1>I would think there is/ or will be very shortly enough interest in the Blu-Ray version to justify the investment. I would propose that the club invest in one since DVD sales are brisk and Blu-Ray sales will likely pay for this investment in one year.Regards, Larry --- On Mon, 12/8/08, Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> wrote:From: Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> Subject: Re: [AGA-conheads] Proposed YouTube Video To: "Convention Planning" <aga-conheads@thekrib.com> Date: Monday, December 8, 2008, 9:36 AM The problem with Rendering to Blu-Ray right now is that the current release of Sony Vegas (8.0c) has a curious bug in it. When using a computer with more than two processors or cores, it will crash. I have a workaround, which is to tell the OS to only use 2 cores. With that, I am now rendering AVC files (taking approximately 10 hours per talk). This will get me to my next problem, namely the lack of a Blu-Ray burner. The recording is OK -- I rendered mpeg2 files when we were previewing. Problem there is that format takes 12 gigabytes per hour. And now you know! - Erik On Mon, 8 Dec 2008, Cheryl Rogers wrote:I think he meant the issue with Blue-Ray.
