Archiving on Blu-Ray
Just wanted to mention my XDCAM disc archival technique. I recently purchased a Blu-Ray burner from Fastmac for around $600. I initially bought it to master on Blu-Ray for a client. Soon I discovered how easy it is to open a recorded XDCAM disc, drag all the contents into Toast 8 and burn an exact copy on a Blu-ray 25GB recordable BD-R for about $10-12 dollars. I discard the jewel case and store the Blu-Ray in a sleeve in a CD storage book, cutting down on a little bit of the clutter in my studio. After, checking the new disc in XDCAM transfer, I then erase the XDCAM disc and re-label for another shoot.

How long does the whole 23gb writing take?
(with / without verify) THanks ULi |
It takes about 40 to 45 minutes to write. For some reason it gives me an error message when it begins to verify, but I spot check each disc in XDCAM transfer.

Chris, Warren copies the whole XDCAM Pro Disk structure to BlueRay, so I cant imagine any standalone Player to play these disks. Its for backup reasons, not for playing...
Warren, is that right? |
Thats correct Uli, maybe Chris was referring to the mastering I do for my clients on Blu-ray. At first I had a problem getting them to play on stand alone players, but recently manufactures like Panasonic, Sony and Samsung have come out with updated models and I haven't had a problem. I tested several players at Circuit City the other day and the pictured looked great on all the HD sets in the store.
