CyberLink releases BluRay and HD-DVD burning suite

Looks like CyberLink (developer of CyberDVD among other things) will be the first software company to produce commercial software to burn BluRay discs as well as HD-DVD discs. The updated software, Power2Go 5.5 Next-Gen Edition (a mouthful that is), will be able to burn single layer/dual layer HD-DVD and single layer BluRay, with capacities from 15GB to 30GB (with up to 50GB if they release a dual-layer BluRay burner). It retails for $39.95, but I'm betting that as high capacity optical drives become more popular you'll see stipped down versions of it being bundled with the devices themselves.

    The app CyberLink is popular for is PowerDVD, not CyberDVD.On an unrelated note, but still regarding HD-DVD, a friend and I were curious as to what makes the new Toshiba set-top player tick (the HD-A1), so we tore it apart and found that inside is a Pentium 4 PC connected to a standard IDE drive, and firmware running on Red Hat Linux stored on a USB flash key! We made a video as we worked:[url]http://geekswithblogs.net/lorint/archive/2006/04
