Is Blu-ray using TDK's Durabis coating? - Blu-ray Forum

Are they using Durabis for movies, or a different kind of coating?

Do the movies that are out now, have Durabis?

All current BDs are using a different kind of coating. I've read that it's quite good though.

Future discs will be using durabis.

Are you sure? Where did you read that? Everything I've read suggests that Durabis is optional on Blu-ray discs. Which studios have specifically said they'd use Durabis? To my knowledge only it's creator, TDK, will definitely use Durabis on their recordable BDs.

I can't remember where I read it. But I remember reading something about how TDK is going to be the main supplier of discs to Sony and a few other studios for the DL discs and so the DL discs will mostly have durabis. As well as TDK's own discs.

Well I don't have any of the current BD discs much less I'm not crazy enough to test out their durability but if Durabis is better than what's available now then I hope it does get used by as many BD distributors as possible. Nothing better than protecting our investment.

I take great care of my DVDs and CDs but the occasional scratch does happen. CDs in particular seem prone to them. Wish they had a protective coating as well.

Thats what all my customers say when I tell them about Blu-Rays coating there all like why couldn't they have done this sooner. But they will all be very scratch resistant there was a thread about that in one of the sections of this forum do a search and you should find it.
