🧵 6/n next time, i won't be double-compressing my #MDISC #BDXL #backup.

I can't use the disc image directly, because in my infinite wisdom, i've compressed the already compressed file system.

Now i get to wait another hour-ish, before i can access my rather old files.

Well, i can try and scrape 'em off the busted NVMe.

#Sony cuts 250 jobs at optical media plant — recordable disc production to be phased out, says report. Pressed disc production doesn't seem to be targeted by the cuts. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/storage/sony-cuts-250-jobs-at-optical-media-plant-recordable-disc-production-to-be-phased-out-says-report

Sony kills off Blu-ray and optical disks for consumer market — business-to-business production to continue until unprofitable. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/sony-stops-producing-blu-ray-and-optical-disks-for-consumer-market-business-to-business-production-to-continue-until-unprofitable ➡️ seguirán produciendo para otros. Tal vez veamos los #BDXL de 128 GB bajo otras marcas. Hasta ahora sólo los hacían y vendían bajo su marca Sony y Panasonic que también anunció que abandonaba.

Lo de siempre. Prefieren acabar con cualquier tipo de copia no autorizada aunque se joda todo el mundo. Capan sus reproductores y paran de producir discos grabables, no los prensados.

#Sony abandona la producción de BD-R para el usuario final. Tampoco es que fueran los mayores productores. Verbatim, CMC, MKM y Ritek tienen mayor volumen. Además sus propios cacharros no pueden reproducir discos grabables o regrabables de más de dos capas. Ni la #PlayStation ni sus reproductores UHD de salón son compatibles con la reproducción de #BDXL. Al menos los que venden en la Unión Europea. La PlayStation directamente no reproduce nada que sea «quemado». Sólo discos prensados.

Otro apunte. En el manual de los reproductores #BD #UHD de Sony se indica que entre los discos que no reproducen están los #BDXL. Entonces de qué me sirve un BDXL que puede contener hasta 470 minutos de vídeo en resolución UHD.

Super útil para las grabaciones #AVCHD.

Por supuesto se trata de otra limitación artificial aplicada por el firmware privativo.

He añadido la traducción de imagen. Como #Google Translate se quedaba colgado he utilizado #Yandex.

Al final Google acabó de procesar. Añadida.

@cliffwade OFC!

It even has a #BDXL Burner and I was thinking about getting an #HDDVD Burner as well...

The nice part is that my ODD is toolless swappable on the go...

Huch, die #BDXL ist jetzt schon über 11 Jahre alt:

@Anorack Personally I not only have that, but the LG GGC-H20N which is a combo BD/HD-DVD ROM + CD/DVD-ReWriter...

It's also 4x taller than the 128GB capable #BDXL burner I have installed in the same system...

@TechConnectify technically you're wrong: #DVD players and drives also need to have a second #IR #Laser to read #CDs...

They are just in the same assembly...

In fact, I have a slimline #BDXL burner which has at least 4 lasers since #BDXL have an even shorter wavelenght than #BD & #HDDVD.

So OFC it'll assume it's a #CD first, as #DVDs were propably just an afterthought of an existing product it succeeded at the high end.

@SecurityWriter Not only that, but most of it is caused by the requirement to have assets at least 3 times in several cases, since the most optimal texture [compression] formats are proprietary to manufacturers if not GPU generations.

This is why a #BDXL is sufficient for a #console game to this day: Both #XboxSeries and #PS5 are #AMD #SoC's!
