And DVD-DL was not a waste of time...remember, not all of us owns, or has the funds to upgrade to, a 3 GHz processor!

Gotta Love Technology!!]]>Feb 16th 2006 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
I would suggest that this technology needs to compliment DVD and DVD-DL. We need the ability to record a Blue-ray, but also to revert to the DVD and DVD-DL discs when only a limited space is required... at least until the Blue-Ray media is affordable.]]>Feb 20th 2006 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Mar 10th 2006 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Apr 14th 2006 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
Anyone who a terabyte or more of data on backup will know what I am saying.

But for the "Hollywood" thing, nahh.. Buy a new player, and buy a new TV and Reciever to actually use your product. No thanks... WHen I upgrade to an HD TV, then I will consider it for entertainment purposes.]]>Apr 20th 2006 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
Remember when CD and DVD burners came out, they had long burn times too. This is most likely a 1x burner. They may get faster in the future, just keep your panties on.]]>Jan 26th 2006 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
Also, on a side note, do you think it will have LightScribe built in??? That'd be SICK!]]>Jan 26th 2006 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
Unless you were trying to be sarcastic, if that was the case I apologize and it was pretty funny.]]>Jan 26th 2006 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
anyway $500! if hd-dvd burners come in at a lot cheaper, then i'd go for that. ]]>Jan 26th 2006 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/

I remember buying a new 8x DVD burner for $250. Before that, I got a newly released 12x CD burner for $270.

Stop complaining, these aren't for regular Joe's, it's for professionals and people with too much money. Wait a few years.]]>Jan 26th 2006 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
Why are the players huge? If you think about it, the writer is pretty huge.

Who does that? If Sony does this and Toshiba doesn't Toshiba will gain a stronghold that Sony wouldn't be able to take back. The thing is, if they released an 8x version, you'd still be dissatisfied until they waited aanother six months to release a 16x version.

They're not releasing this as the one-drive-to-rule-them-all, but as a technology showcase that tells the world that indeed they can make such technical leaps over the past generation.]]>Jan 26th 2006 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
What I'm more interested in is how much for the blank/writable media? ]]>Jan 26th 2006 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/How does that work anyway?]]>Jan 26th 2006 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
Also you should read some the requirements for the movies on Blu-Ray.

"The Samsung Blu-ray burner is supposed to sell for around $500 in April. To use it to playback HD movies on your PC you need apparently at least a 3Ghz CPU and a 128MB Graphics-Card that supports that support copy protection interfaces HDMI, DVI or HDCP."]]>Jan 26th 2006 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Oh and “640K ought to be enough for anybody.”]]>Jan 26th 2006 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
they rushed this so blu ray will have an advantage over the HD-DVD in the computing sector. the more blu-ray players out the more leverage the consortium that created this standard will have with movie studios to make this the next generation home video format. ]]>Jan 26th 2006 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
The people complainging about speed should note that a DDS5 cartridge will take 2 - 3 hours to dump a similar volume of data.]]>Jan 26th 2006 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 26th 2006 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
How long does it to take 7 single layered DVDs? 3 dual layered DVDs? Then there's the advantage of no disc swapping, and you only have to make one image instead of 7 or 3]]>Jan 27th 2006 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/6 months after release it will be down to $200.00
The media costs will be the killer.
I'll just wait till media costs come down.

At 50gigs.I could put all my mp3's on once cd.
At 50gigs I could put a season of a tv show on one cd.
The DRM is the only thing that worrys me.
I hope that it's not imposed on the users.
DRM is not a feature its a bug.

The wikipedia article quotes BlueRay's 1x read speed to be 36Mbits/s or about 4.5 MB/s

So this BlueRay drive records at 2x.

Also, it's interesting to note that the wikipedia quotes a 2x read speed for a BD-Rom being 108 Mbits/s. Where the authors of the original document not reading from BD-ROM?]]>Jan 27th 2006 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/
So a 12x DVD would be a bit greater than 16 MB/s
And if you in a habit of doing so, you could say that 1 BluRay disc speed is about the same as 3 (well, 3 and a third) DVD speeds]]>Jan 27th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 27th 2006 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 27th 2006 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 27th 2006 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 27th 2006 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 27th 2006 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/Jan 27th 2006 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/samsung-sh-b022-blu-ray-burner-reviewer/250 GB drives for 70 usd.
