So how do I know which Blu-Ray media to use?
Blu-ray media is the logical choice for backing up HD video and audio files. BD-R discs are excellent for archiving HD home movies or music collections. If your video or music collection is more extensive, BD-R DL or BD-R XL discs offer greater storage capacity (up to 3x that of BD-R) requiring fewer discs. If you find yourself frequently updating your music library or wanting to update an archived photo collection, consider BD-R RE discs, which allow you to add to or re-write the same disc up to 1,000 times.
