@CliffWade OFC!

It even has a #BDXL Burner and I was thinking about getting an #HDDVD Burner as well...

The nice part is that my ODD is toolless swappable on the go...

@Anorack Personally I not only have that, but the LG GGC-H20N which is a combo BD/HD-DVD ROM + CD/DVD-ReWriter...

It's also 4x taller than the 128GB capable #BDXL burner I have installed in the same system...

@TechConnectify technically you're wrong: #DVD players and drives also need to have a second #IR #Laser to read #CDs...

They are just in the same assembly...

In fact, I have a slimline #BDXL burner which has at least 4 lasers since #BDXL have an even shorter wavelenght than #BD & #HDDVD.

So OFC it'll assume it's a #CD first, as #DVDs were propably just an afterthought of an existing product it succeeded at the high end.

@SecurityWriter Not only that, but most of it is caused by the requirement to have assets at least 3 times in several cases, since the most optimal texture [compression] formats are proprietary to manufacturers if not GPU generations.

This is why a #BDXL is sufficient for a #console game to this day: Both #XboxSeries and #PS5 are #AMD #SoC's!

*nodds in agreement*

All the shitty #DRM crap is really stopping me from buying any media, subscribing to anything or downloading anything that is commercially licensed.

I mean look at the bs to officially play #4K - #BDXL on a PC.

At that level of #enshittification #piracy is just an act of self-defense & mutual aid.
