Re: Blu-Ray on DVD media

John,

That's very helpful. (Unfortunately I can't view your tutorials. I'm on a mac, and even with Flip for Mac, your wmvs don't have a picture. Is it possible that you are using an incompatible codec?) While the posts you point to answer a lot of questions, the posts themselves are a year old. Has there been any progress since? Would I still need to use your folder method or has something better come along?

I know that we can never be guaranteed that any one disc will play back in any one player but I'm interested in relative probabilities. In your previous tread, Heath Firestone says that this kind of disk (Blu-ray content on a DVD disk) is called BD-9 and that, as of a year ago, playback wasn't supported on the PS3. Do BD-9 disks require a later firmware than other recordable BD types? If so, does that make a BD-9 disk less likely to playback on an unknown machine? Assuming that I can just buy a BR burner, what is the disk format that is the most compatible with the most player and firmware versions?
