Blu-ray Burner Questions

[adamadekat]

First off, is there a good software program out there for burning a blu-ray movie? (to back-up one I purchased)

Second, this drive states that it burns blu-ray, but it doesn't say anything about reading... I'm assuming it does, but can you guys confirm?

Um yea. If it can write it, it most certainly can read it. As far as backing up the ones you own, thats a whole other can of worms (DRM, etc). Im thinking something along the lines of what deCss (sp?) did for DVDs.

Can this drive burn blu-ray movies though? Are blu-ray movies even able to be burnt at this point in time, without having to hacked or anything like that?
