Is there a list which blu ray drives are compatible, eg the sony-optiarc BD-5730S, at:
"http://www.sony-optiarc.eu/products/archive/bluraydrivesnotebooks/bd5730s.html"
I think any slimline BD-R is supported.
Because it's used a
optical device standard .(in 2008 their was a
Linux kernel patch for Bluray, i suppose the newer 3.2 kernel in Dreambox will support Bluray, i mean how else can they write in that format). Maybe you can ask the manufactorer if their drive is supported under Linux kernel 3.2, just to besure before you buy it.
DVD burner is also possible to burn
miniBluRay .
I mean I suppose it's the dvd-burn plugin who create a udf2.5 filesystem on the optical disc. So i suppose when burning bdmv to DVD , that it can be played on a BluRay player, becasue Bluray players are backwards compatible, so can read DVD, and since they're BluRay player, they support udf2.5 and bdmv.
(Do correct me if i'm wrong)
Only limit is storage capacity:
DVD Capacity and maybe the readspeed of DVD. But i think that is high enough for DVB-S2, because if you burn a HD recording now as datadisc on DVD, and play it, then it plays correct with DVD drive(on dreambox or computer).
Update: I try to use DVD-burn with BDMV (on DVDwriter drive with DVD+R),
not working yet .
