Are there any 100% working methods for Blu-ray TO Blu-ray ? | ||

| Hello,
since some weeks, I've been wondering about buying the (in)famous LG BE06LU10 Blu-ray recorder. In short, what I want to do is to make backup copies of NON protected disks. But, mainly because a BD-50 costs the impossible, I'd really be glad if there was a method to shrink a BD-50 into a BD-25. Hence my question: are there any 100% working methods for doing this? I don't wanna waste my money in buying a recorder with which I wouldn't be able to do what I want to do... | ||

| With BDs, nothing is 100% working. :) But BDRebuilder is popular for 'shrinking' BDs down. I would also recommend using ImgBurn to burn the BD discs.
And welcome to our forums. :) | ||

| Yep, I know BDRebuilder.
My main issue is that my parents are giving the money for the BE06LU10, and they want to be 100% sure that the Blu-ray copies will work. :x :x :shock: :shock: DVDFab's team is gonna release an utility for shrinking BD-50 to BD-25, hope this will work... | ||

| With many BDs, the main movie, without subs and additional languages, will fit on a BD-25 disc with no conversion. You just need a decrypted BD file and ImgBurn. I use tsMuxeR to remove the extra stuff.
Another issue is playback. If you want to use a standalone player, a set top player, you need to find out what formats they will accept. Not all accept burned BD-25 discs. DVDFab's offering sounds interesting. I use AnyDVD for decryption and it hasn't failed me yet. But some BDs have odd structures and are fairly difficult to convert/backup. Do you have to use a external burner/reader? It seems like an internal one would be cheaper and more reliable. And be aware that 'shrinking' a BD takes a lot of CPU power and a fair amount of storage space and time. My BD>MKV backups to 8.5GB MKV's with RipBot take about 6 hours, and that's on a 3.4Ghz quad core PC. I don't have a set top BD player, so I don't need that format. | ||

Well, I have a hyper-threading Pentium IV 3.0 GHz with Windows XP SP2 installed. I'm writing in this thread with my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz - but, just to make things clearer, my MBP would NOT be used for decrypting and encoding Bluray disks. This would be my combo: - LG BE06LU10 Blu-ray external burner (external is needed, 'coz I'm gonna use it both with my MBP and my PC) - SHARP (Aquos) Blu-ray player - and yes, it DOES support BD-R and BD-RE. Haven't checked BD-R DL compatibility, but - since a BD-R DL costs 25 Euro, BD-ROM DL to BD-R DL is not my priority Total cost: 320 Euro ca. ****** I'm blocked, although. Before buying all this stuff I have to be sure that, if not 100%, it would work at least by a 85-90% of the cases. As I repeated before, that's because my parents are giving me the money. If I was able to decide, I'd have bought all many months ago :-P | ||

| No lie, my dual core 3ghz would take approx 12-18 hours, sometimes a full day on those big movies. My newer quad core is around 6-8 hours. I wouldn't even bother on the slower processors. :shock: |
