Yes.... I'm equipped with a blu-ray burner, 25gb of bd-re media, and lots of time. So.... what the heck do I do??

I have the Panasonic Blu-Ray SW-5582 which came with a Panasonic Blu-ray/DVD-RAM driver for Windows. I guess with this drive you can use the blu-ray functions like a floppy drive, just drag and drop for file burning.

I'm formatting the 25 bd-re right now, instructions say it'll take up to 90 minutes, which seems about right. Apparently you can't burn to the disc until it's formatted. It needs to be UDF 2.5 for compliance with the Blu-ray disc association (but if you're not planning on doing movies, it can be FAT32). bd-r is UDF 2.6.

Once it's done formatting... I kinda want to try to get high def video on it. I have the FusionHDTV USB2.0 recorder and want to be able to store/playback the video on the blu-ray drive... not as data, but as video.

Any advice?

Any tests I should do for the community?

Lemme know.
