Verbatim is the ONLY brand I ever have used for any cd, dvd or blu ray media. Pay a little premium but it is the best media.

The price of external drives and having an NAS pretty much obviated the disk writing for me. I can readily purchase 2TB USB3.0 2.5" drives for roughly 100 dollars. With a capacity of approximately 200 1080p movies and pluggable into the typical smart tv, you are pretty much golden.

I still have Nero, but chiefly for format conversion that handbrake cannot do.

I agree! why bother with discs, hell I would rather have 8 - 10 movies on a thumb drive rather than a disc. With so many media players and smart tvs or just go HTPC. I personally Have an HTPC and a patriot box office and almost no need for cable TV aside from live sports, I will likely ditch my cable provider when Live sports HD streams are a little better

The movie is located in the bdmv/stream directory. It will be the largest .m2ts file. Handbrake will convert it to a .MKV or MP4 for you.

If the main movie is splint tsMuxer can join them.
