Schocker,
Indeed, my blu-ray reader can only burn DVD's, not Blu-Rays.
I've never used it to burn what so ever.
It is just there to read blu-ray.
Digitizing good quality blu ray at full capacity consumes 40GB or more average per disk. At that rate, TB's on the server would be consumed rather fast.
So my approach is: Digitize everything, except blu-ray.
I go rather far in that.
Example: A book for the kids that is accompanied by a CD, gets digitized through scanning, and then using a video editing tool gets converted into a video.
So If the kids want (us) to read the book (to them) and listen to the sound, we just turn of the TV, and the HTPC produces the sound.
If they like, they just can read the book on the screen.
The case is an HFX micro, fitted with the blu ray and a 64GB SSD disk.
(It is smaller than an old 45 RPM disk and les than 10 cm high, so currently you cound not even add a needle to it)
