If the source file is not Hi-def, you probably won't see a difference. Also blank blu-rays are more expensive. I've got a blu-ray drive on my computer but I never burn anything other than regular cds and dvds with it.

Well I ordered one last night for my pooter along with 20 blank Blue Ray DVD....you ain't kiding about the cost of them blank disk. They were almost ninty bucks for 20 ...wow. One of the pfoto editing program for making movies you can do in 1080I and it will also burn in Blue Ray. I kinda wanna play with the HD pictures to see what they look like in HD...Mike

I will wait until they've been out a while. Remember the prices of VCRs and Microwaves when first on the market? And now compare.

I too haven't burnt a Bluray disk yet. Any of the full HD footage I've shot thus far is still on the camcorder's 120gb internal hdd. I just connect the cam to my tv via hdmi and play it back from there.
Also ,most people I know still have SD tv's (or not fully 1080p resolution) so I've never had the need to burn off a bluray disc to give to them.
