Quick Guide to Buying Blu Ray Burners

keywords: Blu ray burners

Blu ray burners come in all shapes and sizes. To many movie and music enthusiasts, probably the second best reason why they are buying anything related to Blu ray is its ability to store enormous data in a disc the same size as the DVD. To be able to "burn" files from a PC to a Blu ray disc is heaven -- with so much storage capacity, you can use a single disc in lieu of several DVDs or CDs. 

When it comes to hardware, blu ray burners have a great selection. Prices range from $200 to $1000. However, with the huge demand on manufacturers overseas, blu ray burners are bound to get cheaper in time. Along with this, we can expect that from a burning speed of 4x, it will continue to increase with the fastest brand around burning at 8x.

Most of this demand comes from the movie industry, video professionals, and high definition video and audio enthusiasts. Because Hollywood movies have taken the great leap towards high definition films, movie fans who wish to keep up with the trend in their own home theaters look towards blue ray burners as the perfect solution. By simply using the ordinary high-spec PC, they can rip files from old discs to a Blu ray disc and experience the best that video technology has to offer. 

There are a lot more reasons why Blu-ray burners are becoming a big hit to video aficionados. Back when the Blu-ray disc format was still being finalized, the discs needed to be enclosed in special cartridges to prevent from scratching, contamination, and other possibilities of damage. When TDK developed a special hard coating for Blu-ray discs, the latter have become virtually indestructible. Because of this, the discs can last up to 15 years. 

For those who are worried about unauthorized replication of content, the Blu-ray discs are equipped with copy protection capability. Blu ray burners also accept almost all types of video and audio format for flexible data writing.

Software for burning recordable or rewritable Blu ray discs are readily available. Some companies even offer free trials or just plain "free" software that you can download online. If you are a first time user of Blu ray burners, the best software may take a while to find. It pays to take advantage of free trials as well as ask around for someone who might have some knowledge and advice.

Sample Product Reviews: Newegg, Optics Planet and More!

Newegg.com’s great prices for tripods

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

I have visited Newegg.com several times and know that they have a lot in their selection to choose from. As for camera tripods, the catalog is pretty decent. They have the photo, the specs, the reviews, the price, and the shipping cost. A great way to begin is to click on my price range on the left side of the screen. Also, does it matter what brand? That’s something you gotta figure out. Since they’re mainly selling different brands, all you can do is do a comparison check on the website itself. It takes a little time, but you’ll find what you need. And so will I.

Finding Benro tripods at local dealers

Benro.com is the ultimate place for professionals looking for a high end tripod that will probably last forever. Everything you need to know about a particular tripod is here: Features, Specs, Items included, Optional heads, and accessories. Benro is very detailed about their tripods. Unfortunately, you don’t know how much they’re gonna cost you unless you contact the dealer that is nearest to your location. You can, of course, do a comparison check online when you get a chance. Google “Benro Tripod” if you will.

Camera tripods at PC World? Yes

I didn’t know PC World actually sells camera tripods until I checked in the Photography section. They let you compare prices with other brands here. Unlike camera specialty stores, they don’t have very many selections, although they do have a few products in the photography catalog that you may not find elsewhere. You can basically filter the camera tripod that fits your budget by clicking the Price Range link. If you look more closely, you will get an idea of what you’re buying based on reviews, but I cannot find the Specs despite the existing link. Weird??

Optics Planet has the “awesomest” catalog

It’s nice to know that before you buy a product at Optics Planet, you can pretty much figure out whether it’s perfect for you or not. They have a section devoted entirely to product reviews. I’m telling you, they have A LOT more to sell than elsewhere when it comes to vision equipment. They have telescopes, rifle scopes, night vision equipment and even prescription glasses. But since I’m looking for a camera tripod, I’m faced with tremendous choices based by brand. Which is best? It’s funny how their price range can be anything from $5 to $735! I think I’ll stick with the price I can handle.
