It says it uses a modified suite of applications for the recording on the Bluray drive. I wonder what and who.

As far as I know though none of them will author a BD disk that'll play in a STB.

ur right Farss.. also the pioneer model burners wont support dual layered burning..

Im wondering if it would be possible to use an XDCam deck for BD authring... now THAT would really rock... and kill 3 birds with 1 stone.. u got XDCam, U got BD Archiving and u got BDMovie authoring..

knowing sony.. it wont happen though..

but thing is, Toshiba did the same thing with HD DVD... but until someone releases a decent authoring app to author BD and HD DVD, theres no point.. (unless ur archiving data.. to which there IS a point..

As far as I know the XDCAM decks use the disks in a caddy, the consummer variant doesn't. The XDCAM disks are rewriteable.
Don't even know if there's anyway to read the XDCAM disks in anything other than XDCAM decks, I'd suspect not as they were designed well before the STB variant although an early model BD STB I saw did use disks in caddies.

yeah IMO the caddies are one of the surefire ways to ensure stability when recording.. one of the demos i had seen was the cam on teh back of a jeep over some desert and the bugger was jumpoin all over the place, but the footage was rock solid...

would be good to have a 3 in 1 option though
