    burning to dvd VS. blu-ray discs

    Hi, when creating a slideshow or movie, will the quality be different upon playback when watching on dvd or blu-ray? I do have a 1080p tv, and i do have a blu ray player. I just want to know if it is worth my time to buy blu ray disks if the quality will be the same upon viewing the finished prouct.

    Not sure of your answer, but happened across this via Slickdeals.net. Not sure how long it's going to last:

      Will totally depend on the source material and how much compression is used. You'd also have to check to be sure that your blu ray player can recognize BD-Rs

      Better than regular DVD? probably. close to a retail blu ray? doubtful. worth the time and trouble?

        Good questions and I appreciate the candor. I will be using my PS3 as the bu ray player. I'll see if it cna handle br-r.

          So do you have a Blu-ray burner? If no then the question is moot.

          Anyway, yes the PS3 can read a BD-R, but it (like most players) is picky about some of the details.

          As was said, if it looks better is completely dependent on the source video, but IMO the difference between high quality DVD and Blu-ray video isn't extremely significant, the real difference is in the audio. Personally I would either go DVD (mostly because BD-Rs are going to cost you 5xs as much as a quality DVDR) or just use an external HDD.
