like the features

although about the clashing thing- a lot of PCs now days have drawers do it wont be too bad

but can I stick this thing in a G5- that would be worth it!

VERY very impressive little 5.25 drive, but im holding out for better.]]>Jul 18th 2006 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/
Why not SATA? eSATA would be even better!]]>Jul 18th 2006 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/Jul 18th 2006 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/
And getting to the point, how much will they be in Indian ruppees? ]]>Jul 19th 2006 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/Jul 19th 2006 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/I want this one now :) No more crap outdated HD DVDs will mess here!]]>Jul 19th 2006 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/ BD-AV format for home playback, with a whole four hours fitting on one 50GB disc.

BOOOO! I was expecting (2hours/4GB)*50GB hours of video... Or something similar.

Four hours - even if its HD - seems to be waste of space and money, compared to 2 hours of DVD. Especially since most cameras cannot HD/1080i anyway.

Is BD-AW "raw" format? what about compression? mpeg4/avc anyone?]]>Jul 19th 2006 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/Jul 19th 2006 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/Jul 19th 2006 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/Jul 19th 2006 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/sony-unveils-bwu-100a-blu-ray-burner/Jul 19th 2006 1:30PM
