  1. File Format for Long-term Data Storage, Burning of Blu-Ray M-Discs


    The conventional thought is that when you store data for long-term storage, you convert the data into a format that will last for decades. It should be in NTFS or FAT and file formats that will be around in decades.

    For example, they do not recommend that files should be left in docx (Word format) because you don't now if Microsoft will be around 10 years from now. They suggest that formats such as txt.

    HOWEVER, I have most of my documents in Microsoft Word and Excel. And, the formatting of the document is actually really important to me. It allows readability of the document. If it's all in the same regular text, it makes it much harder to read.

    What do you people suggest that I should do? I want to burn my long-term files but what format do you recommend that I should save it in on my blu-ray M-discs?

    :)

  2. Cannot copy a Blu-Ray data disc to my hard drive

    Hello,

    I cannot copy a Blu-Ray data disc (of a WinRAR file) to my hard drive using Windows Explorer.

    I receive the error message, "Can't read from the source file or disk," during a copy.

    The disc was verified after burning using the burning software. (Nero)

    Any suggestions?

    Can you recommend a good commercial Blu-Ray data disc to hard drive utility?

    Sincerely,

    William Johnston

    Playing a Blu-Ray video disc?


    I've been thinking of getting a Blu-Ray Optical drive and what I have seen is it would be best to get one that has the software with it for playing the Blu-Ray discs or burning to a Blu-Ray disc. I wouldn't need the movie creation part of the software as more interested in playing and data storage. Some of the available programs are not exactly cheap, running over $50 and considerably more.
