It does work great, though with BD-R prices dropping by the day, the reason to burn to DVD is diminishing. At the moment here in Japan, one 25 Gb BD-R is roughly $6, twice the price of a CPRM-enabled DVD-R DL at $3. For the storage you get, BD-R is already the winner.<br>Of course, a standard 4.7 Gb DVD-R (CPRM) comes in at 60 cents, so that still wins, but squeezing a full-length movie down that much doesn't do it for me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Enoshima]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2008 8:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mitsubishi's AVCREC Blu-ray recorders stuff HD content onto standard DVDs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/Mitsubishis-avcrec-blu-ray-recorders-stuff-hd-content-onto-stand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/Mitsubishis-avcrec-blu-ray-recorders-stuff-hd-content-onto-stand/</guid><description><![CDATA[No NTSC?

I mean you can do it, but quite possibly they will look like crap. I've seen some 1080p DVD9 rips, even they looked very dvd-ish. Downscaling a 1080p broadcast to 720p and recording it to a DVD5 via H.264 is much more sensible in my opinion.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[penguendedektif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2008 1:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mitsubishi's AVCREC Blu-ray recorders stuff HD content onto standard DVDs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/Mitsubishis-avcrec-blu-ray-recorders-stuff-hd-content-onto-stand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/Mitsubishis-avcrec-blu-ray-recorders-stuff-hd-content-onto-stand/</guid><description><![CDATA[2 hours of 1080p on a DVD5 (single-layer DVD) is pushing it. 2 hours of 720p on a DVD5 or 2 hours of 1080p on a DVD9 (dual-layer DVD), sure...<br><br>I'm convinced that 1080p on a DVD5 will look worse (due to insufficient bitrate) than 720p on the same disc.

Why did we need Blu-Ray if DVD can do it all by itself? Adam Zey mentioned bitrate, how does that work?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2008 6:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mitsubishi's AVCREC Blu-ray recorders stuff HD content onto standard DVDs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/Mitsubishis-avcrec-blu-ray-recorders-stuff-hd-content-onto-stand/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/Mitsubishis-avcrec-blu-ray-recorders-stuff-hd-content-onto-stand/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, think it's like DVD and divx, or AudioCD and mp3. For an untrained eye (or ear for that matter) a nicely compressed video with a proper codec seems very similar to the uncompressed source. H.264 is an amazing codec and it can compress HD videos very nicely. With a moderate computer (a dual core with a couple of rams and a decent video card)or an XBOX360 you can watch these videos seamlessly. For 720p, a single DVD5 is enough. For 1080p however; even a single DVD9 is not enough, since it's almost three times bigger than 720p in total pixels. As Adam sad, higher bitrate + lower resolution seems much nicer than lower bitrate + higher resolution. So if you are recording a broadcast, I suggest you downsample it to 720p, use a high bitrate and record it to a cheaper-than-water DVD5...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[penguendedektif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2008 10:40PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
