Thanks.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 26 Nov 2006 23:34:38 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/blu-ray-optical-drive-on-ar-series/m-p/167231#M85535 Saul 2006-11-26T23:34:38Z Re: *******BLU-RAY OPTICAL DRIVE ON AR-SERIES******* https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/blu-ray-optical-drive-on-ar-series/m-p/167234#M85536 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes you can burn normal DVD format onto DVD's there is also a DVD drive combined , You could also do this onto blu-ray disc but it won't be recognised by a normal DVD player, only a PC with a blu-ray drive.<BR /><BR />You can get rewritable blu-ray disc.<BR /><BR />Why not backup onto CD, DVD or Blu-ray ? or backup onto a USB memory key device...<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Nov 2006 11:23:07 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/blu-ray-optical-drive-on-ar-series/m-p/167234#M85536 admin 2006-11-27T11:23:07Z Re: *******BLU-RAY OPTICAL DRIVE ON AR-SERIES******* https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/blu-ray-optical-drive-on-ar-series/m-p/167236#M85537 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Saul,<BR /><BR />You could check out my <A href="http://www.club-vaio.com/clubvaio/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=37479" target="_blank">review</A> on AR21S.<BR /><BR />I also agree with thorprermark when it comes to backing up... You wouldn't get much data on a 1.44Mb floppy disk. I would only use it for a boot disk really, but why not create a boot CD instead?<BR /><BR />Stam<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Nov 2006 11:32:18 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/blu-ray-optical-drive-on-ar-series/m-p/167236#M85537 Zagster 2006-11-27T11:32:18Z Re: *******BLU-RAY OPTICAL DRIVE ON AR-SERIES******* https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/blu-ray-optical-drive-on-ar-series/m-p/167237#M85538 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks thorpemark thats just what i wanted to know about the Blu-ray discs. Cheers<BR /><BR />Stam, hi, yes i thought it may be possible to create a boot CD but will have to read up on it. Will check out your review right away. Thanks for the advice.<BR /><BR />Saul<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Nov 2006 20:16:17 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/pcs-accessories/blu-ray-optical-drive-on-ar-series/m-p/167237#M85538 Saul 2006-11-27T20:16:17Z
