Sony's BD-RE MID Code released!

[dolphinius_rex]

It looks like we've had our first look at a BluRay MID code finally! Many thanks to Wesociety of CDFreaks for his unveiling:

If you look at the first picture on the page, you'll see the MID is listed as SONY 001. We also see that this is a rewritable disc (BD-RE).

We should be seeing more MID codes appearing in the next couple months, but I think it's good for the format to see that this media is out there, and we know what to expect when we finally get to order it!

Glad you liked it.
Keep in mind that this is a PROTOTYPE Sony BD-RE disc.
So it is slightly possible that the MID might change.

Yeah, cuz goodness knows they have *SO* much time to be making major adjustments like that, with their release data coming in so soon

Sarcasm aside, it's possible it will change, but very VERY unlikely. Verbatim on the other hand is currently holding back their MID code data from EVERYONE, because they really *DO* expect it might change!

Hello and thanks for all the info




My question about the nest genetation blank media is:
because "pits ans lands" going to be recorded in the Blu-Ray format
in a more tiny way on an disc of the same size of 12 cm
is there any information around about the expected longevity of burned BD-R ?

Blue-Ray are already used for quite a time in the industry but protected by a cartridge
and I know that TDK is putting on the market BD-R discs with an extra
"DURABIS-2" hard coating in order to prevent scratches.
But they say only: « problems are "almost" eradicated »


Title: TDK’s DURABIS Coating Technology Makes Blu-ray a Reality

« Recording this amount of data on a disc physically the same size as a DVD requires unprecedented recording media stability and precision. Blu-ray recording uses a narrow track pitch and high recording density. This and the fact the recording layer on Blu-ray (0.2mm) and DVD (0.6mm) sits closer to the disc’s surface means that dirt, grime and scratches on the disc can cause more serious recording and playback problems than on a CD.
With DURABIS these problems are almost eradicated »
