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.

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

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!

I did do something special with 23
or so
sets -- they're on shiny
Watershield media instead of the
usual
matte-finish. You can really
tell
the difference when you play them
(wink). But as I had to make about 40
sets, I couldn't send everyone
shiny
disks.

Hey, I got my second Blu-Ray
request.
Unfortunately, having trouble
rendering them, so I'd just
about
abandoned the idea. Will have to
re-think. :)
