Makes sense. DVD was the defacto standard of media for a time. Its an afterthought now. Why make the best DVD -RW when mid quality DVD-RW sell just fine.

Are blu rays the standard now? I haven’t burned anything in years.

Few manufacturers of burnable BD media these days. Sony left the market uh, I think last year.

Verbatim has said they’ll continue making them, as far as I can tell they’re the only company doing BDXLs — some are doing single layer.

For WORM backup media Blu-Ray is basically what we’ve got, and it’s concerning basically only one company is making it. Pioneer also left the player market so the quality of reading/writing devices is also getting questionable.
