Hi is there any software and disks for large burning available. Have
been looking at. .......

HD-DVD Single Layer 15 GB ≈ 14.0 GiB of data (15076554752 bytes).
HD-DVD Dual Layer 30 GB ≈ 31.1 GiB of data (33393473536
bytes).
BD Single Layer 25 GB ≈ 23.3 GiB of data (25025314816 bytes).
BD Dual Layer 50 GB ≈ 46.6 GiB of data (50050629632
bytes).

Would be nice. Currantly I am using a free CDBurnerXP

TIA

Desmond.
 
I think ImgBurn can do that.

Thanks for this. I am needing to burn large data disks not movies. I
take it BD Dual Layer is blueray. But if I can burn these that is 50G
of data. A any PC hardware sutable for burning data like this. Tried
HP but got nowhere fast.

Quit trying to get the Internet on disk. It is a futile endeavor.

Just want to back up large files that would not not fit on an 8G DL

Obviously you need a Blu-ray writer than can burn dual-layered discs, but other than that, practically any contemporary PC will
do. Here's one such burner for $70:

I actually just bought one of those in a retail kit at Fry's to back-up my
digital photos. It took two 25 GB disks to do the job. There is a BD XL
triple layer disk type that will hold 100 GB! The disks are ridiculously
expensive, though.

It was on sale for $90 last week and I had a hundred dollar gift card. The
current online price is $130, which is too much.

The retail kit came with a blank Verbatim BD-R 25 GB 6X disk with jewel case,
a SATA cable, and a molex to SATA power adapter. Oh, and an install disk
containing LG Burning Tool and five Cyberlink apps– PowerDVD, PowerProducer,
PowerBackup, MediaShow, and YouCam– likely OEM or limited versions.

I've burned a few BD-Rs with ImgBurn. It also will prepare the images
although it's a bit awkward when you're trying to fit as much on a
disk as possible.

Some of us deal with large chunks of data.

So far I haven't had anything that couldn't be put on DVDs but one
BD-R is a lot more convenient than several DVD-Rs.

I checked the price on the media, and a dual layer BD was around $8.80 each.
So if you make a coaster, it's an $8.80 coaster. To back up a 1TB hard
drive (without using compression), costs around $176.00 (20 discs). When
I compared to the price of a DVD, the storage cost was similar (which is probably
how they decided to charge $8.80 for it, and not some lesser number).

I've never used a dual-layer. The single layers can be had for around
$1.

Even with decent DVD burners common for $10 sales, I doubt BR will
ever take off the way both CD/DVD discs once did. Not sure about 2T
hard drives for pre/post-storm pricing $50, whenever, but for optical
$1 discs, prep/burn time involved through the whole software concept,
30+Mb/sec direct trx rates at ESATA makes more sense for a continued
suppressing agent to whatever optical disc media pricing discounts
have in store. Failed theoretical media is never fun, although at $50
a unit, stacks of redundant HDs is certainly among viable deterrents
to BR as a storage scheme.
