Blu-Ray Recording

Getting into Blu-Ray recording is getting easier and easier these days. It’s great for recording HDTV broadcasts, as well ask backing up discs.
I’ve been looking into hd dvd recorders. They look like a good option for archiving high def video, which is just what I need. Plain old DVD doesn’t cut it any more.
Specifically, Samsung Hd Dvd Recorder are looking good to me. The only thing holding me back is the battle between the two dominant standards, but it’s looking like dual-standard players are taking over, so it may be a non issue.
