VHS to Blu-Ray DVD Recorders - Blu-ray Forum

We are very interested in transferring many VHS tapes to DVD. What are the problems with going to Blu-Ray?

Well one problem is cost, no Blu-ray burners (aside from PC ones) have even been given any sort of release dates, expect them to be well over $1000 when they come out, the blank disks are insanely expensive, almost as much as just going out and rebuying the movie on Blu-ray, and then there's the obvious waste of putting such a low quality source on an HD media, there's really no point of putting it on Blu-ray disks when DVD's already are vastly superiour to VHS, you basicaly won't gain anything more going to Blu-ray, it will just cost more.

Umm... The nice thing about Blu-ray Disc is, when converting to Blu-ray Disc, up to 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video on a 50GB disc (and thats DVD quality) So for VHS, it may be up to 20 hours of video on a single layered (25 GB) disc and 40 hours on a dual layered (50 GB) disc.
