Re: Prices of BR media?

You mean Blu-ray media?

I have no idea about the prices in Lithuania, but WeSellCD.com in Germany sell Verbatim Blu-ray media at the following prices:

5pc BD-R 2x 25GB: 699 DKK ~ €93 (€18.60 per pc)
5pc BD-RE 2x 25GB: 1249 DKK ~ €167 (€33.40 per pc)

Nierle in Germany sell BD-R media with a price range of €14.99 - €18.99 per pc, and they sell BD-RE media with a price range of €17.99 - €21.99 per pc.

Re: Prices of BR media?

comparing cost/GB

Verbatim BD-R 2x 25GB = €0,60/GB
Verbatim DVD+R DL 2,4x = € 0,45/GB
Verbatim DVD+R DL 8x = € 0,66/GB
Verbatim DVD-R DL 4x = € 0,59/GB
Verbatim DVD+/-R 16x = € 0,08/GB
Verbatim CD-R 700MB = € 0,31/GB
Traxdata HD-DVD-R 15GB = € 0,67/GB

I hope the calculations are correct

Re: Prices of BR media?

"Black Friday" at CompUSA had great deal. $US 9.99 each for Memorex BD-R and $14.99 for BD-RE (also Memorex). I bought a few of the BD-R.

Re: Prices of BR media?

The Sony BWU-100a (the drive that cost me $US 330 btw) is a rebadged Panasonic (I'm sure most know this), so in theory the Pana discs would work best. Memorex BD actually have Matsushita codes, but even if they didn't...going with any MIJ is probably safe. Although I am curious about the Phillips, which come UDF 2.50 formatted. Those are Made in Netherlands.

With the BWU in mind, my preference order is: Pana, Fuji, Sony, then maybe Verbatim.

BD-R media costs about £10 per disc over here in the UK.

In theory so many things shoudl work "best", but practice shows the opposite.
I've seen extensive testings and only the media labelled from SONY and FUJI came out within the allowed specs.
