If there is any doubt that the format war is in full swing, we don't know how. It seems that everyday a new device is announced and today it's Samsung's turn with a few new Blu-ray burners. While we don't have many details on state-side availability, they have some pretty interesting devices. The SE-B046 pictured is pretty cool looking, and we hope its performance matches -- we can't ever get enough of that piano black finish. It's an external burner, includes USB 2.0 and 1394 ports, and is no doubt designed to record from your 1394 enabled STB or computer. The next model, the internal SH-B043, can write 4x BD-R and supports all the standard optical discs we have come to expect. For those still using DVDs, Sammy also announced the SATA enabled SH-S203, which sports a whole slew of support including record-breaking 20x DL DVD±R, 12x DVD±R DL/-RAM, 8x DVD+RW and 6x DVD-RW. While some of these models will be available somewhere this year, we'll have to wait on pricing and release details.
if this can take the firewire output from say, a sony HC-5/7. or other minidv HDV camcorder.
this would be a very interesting product.
Inappropriate. use of full stops (TRANSLATE: periods) and.
strange paragraph breaks.
Oh get over it Dan. This is a tech blog, not a language school. Did you not understand the gist of what 'endless' was saying? If you didn't understand, then ask for clarification. If you did understand, move on.
Sega-32X form factor FTW!
wow, so thats what their doing with the PS3 case prototypes =D
Nah, ill pass....i already have a printer.
FINALLY... A Blu-Ray HDTV recorder!
Er... well, they've been out for like 3 years now,, but in the original cartridge form. The good news here is that this might hit US shores, and I can FINALLY ditch these crappy DVHS decks for HDTV recording.
And the ability to use it from a computer too? Kick ass!
